Description

The index points to https://eel.is/c++draft/lex.pptoken#1 as the place where "whitespace" is introduced.

The terms "whitespace" and "whitespace character" are quasi-definitions within that paragraph, and they should be formatted as such (i.e. in italics).

There are many places where [lex] refers to whitespace, so by all means, it should be a defined term.
