Test cases are constructed from keywords and their possible arguments. The
214+
syntax requires that keywords and arguments, as well as settings and their
215+
values, are separated by at least two spaces or by a tab character. It is
216+
generally recommended to use four spaces to make the separator more explicit,
217+
and in some cases aligning arguments or other values may make the data easier
218+
to understand. For more details about the syntax see `Robot Framework User
219+
Guide`_.
