Spaces in References

[lucentdan]

Looks like the error referenced here:

https://mattermodeling.stackexchange.com/q/5074

indicates that spaces are not permitted in references within TDB files. The line:

https://github.com/pycalphad/cookbook/blob/9f332a00f8833b120ec1266a991b36b9f1b9e565/PhaseCompositions/mc_fe_v2.059.pycalphad.tdb#L4110C11-L4110C11

Contains four references with spaces. Do you want a pull request to address this data base issue?

Unfortunately what's "permitted" and what's allowed by the software have always been two different things for TDB, as there's no official specification for it. The TDBs in this repository are probably out of date (pycalphad used to tolerate spaces in TDB references, and then we changed it, for reasons I do not recall). The databases here should work with the latest (0.10.x) pycalphad versions: https://github.com/materialsgenomefoundation/2023-workshop-material/tree/3b8a4ec1fd5c1409de2834359bc91c6f524a90fa/pycalphad/databases
A PR to merge the appropriate databases here would be welcome.

I notice that not every TDB in the cookbook is represented in that link. In any case, pull requests restoring compatibility would be welcome.
