Node IDs with spaces cause issues assigning color

[Ferdinandinio]

Hello, apparently networkd3 is having issues assigning colors to nodes correctly if the node IDs (node names) contain spaces. E.g. if two different nodes were called "Example One" and "Example Two", they would be assigned the same color because it appears to only read "Example". If all the names of the nodes were to start with a space, they are all assigned the same color because it apparently only reads the space. This brings me to another (connected) issue, which is that there is no spacing between the NodeID and the value, when hovering over the Links or Nodes. I added the space to the NodeIDs as a workaround, which caused the prior issue.

Best regards
