Can you describe more precisely what the problem is with this string?

Comment 3

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

This string is used in the middle of a sentence, so it has one space before and one after.

Strings are allowed to contain trailing or starting spaces for that very reason.

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Breana, if the yellow-red icon is looking scary, it's just because it's hard to show leading and trailing whitespace. It's not that that signals an error in the original string.

Comment 5

[Breana J. Gonzales]

My apologies, I had seen the yellow icon before but never with the red line underneath so I assumed it meant an error on your end. I will disregard. Thanks for your help!
