 In the "Writing Your First App" Tutorial Part 3, under the subsection
 "Write Views That Actually Do Something"
 (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/tutorial03/#write-views-that-
 actually-do-something), there is an explanation of the render() shortcut
 as an alternative to HttpResponse() + loader. The explanation includes two
 code snippets for comparison.

 One difference between the code snippets that obfuscates rather than
 illuminates the difference is the line(s):
 {{{
     context = {
         'latest_question_list': latest_question_list,
     }
 }}}
 and
 {{{
     context = {'latest_question_list': latest_question_list}
 }}}
 If this was consistently a multiline or single line across the snippets,
 that would make it easier for beginning Django users to glance at and
 understand the difference.

 Screenshot attached to illustrate.

Comment:

 Thanks for the report, however we try to avoid trivial code reformatting
 unless it's a big problem as it creates extra noise in the history. I
 don't think this affects the readability of these snippets.
