I think it should be:
There are two forms of modelines. The first form:
[text{white}]{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options}
[text{white}] empty or any text followed by at least one blank
character (<Space> or <Tab>); "ex:" always requires at
least one blank character
The exception further down is hard to spot.
