Question on new line behavior

Hello,

I am beginning user of CLISP, and I am going to stay long time with
it.

I do not get result as I expect it. Here is small snippet I use to
insert some HTML quickly:

wiki.cl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLISP CLISP

Then I get output:

<em>This article is licensed under the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>. It uses material from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLISP">Wikipedia Article "CLISP
"</a>.</em>
</p>

So I get newline after CLISP. This is now what I was expecting. I
tried triming it.


#!/usr/bin/clisp
(unless (cadr *args*)
 (format t "~a~%" "No arguments specified.")
 (exit 1))

(defvar link (car *args*))
(defvar article (string-trim '(#\Space #\Tab #\Newline) (cadr *args*)))

(format t "~a~a~a~a~a"
"<p>
<em>This article is licensed under the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License\">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>. It uses material from the <a href=\"" link "\">Wikipedia Article \"" article "\"</a>.</em>
</p>")



However, if I connect the above format into:

(format t "~a~a~a~a~a"
"<p>
<em>This article is licensed under the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License\">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>. It uses material from the <a href=\"" link "\">Wikipedia Article \"" article "\"</a>.</em></p>")

Then I get the output like:

<em>This article is licensed under the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>. It uses material from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLISP">Wikipedia Article "CLISP"</a>.</em></p>

It is not logical to me why is this happening.
