     These attributes declare that the derivation is a so-called
     *fixed-output derivation*, which means that a cryptographic hash of
     the output is already known in advance. When the build of a
     fixed-output derivation finishes, Nix computes the cryptographic
     hash of the output and compares it to the hash declared with these
     attributes. If there is a mismatch, the build fails.
-    
+
     The rationale for fixed-output derivations is derivations such as
     those produced by the `fetchurl` function. This function downloads a
     file from a given URL. To ensure that the downloaded file has not
     been modified, the caller must also specify a cryptographic hash of
     the file. For example,
-    
+
     ```nix
     fetchurl {
       url = "http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";
       sha256 = "1md7jsfd8pa45z73bz1kszpp01yw6x5ljkjk2hx7wl800any6465";
     }
     ```
-    
+
     It sometimes happens that the URL of the file changes, e.g., because
     servers are reorganised or no longer available. We then must update
     the call to `fetchurl`, e.g.,
-    
+
     ```nix
     fetchurl {
       url = "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";

     }

     output paths of the derivation and *all derivations depending on it*

     the output path. (The `name` attribute is included because it is
     part of the path.)
