When '=' sign in statement like this:

{% url vj job_id=job.id %}

is surrounded by spaces, ie.

{% url vj job_id = job.id %}, view raises TypeError:

Which is why the documentation shows you to do it without spaces.

But why formatting style has to be enforced in such way?

[James Bennett]

Because of the way Django's template system works, spaces are taken to be separators between arguments. Remember: things you type into templates are not directly interpreted as Python code, and the template language has its own, different-from-Python, ideas about what is and is not acceptable syntax.
