it removes whitespaces inside text about odf-report HOT 3 CLOSED

Could you please look into this?

Sorry for the delay, I could not find time to take a look at it before.

Well, that's a problem I'm not sure I know how to handle. I've looked into the generated XML and the spaces are there, but they dont show up in the doc.

It happens that when you manually insert spaces between words, a special tag is inserted, like

<text:s text:c="5"/>

I can't think of a way to safely interpret white-spaces and generate this tags accordingly.

I would gladly accept a pull request to do so, though.

If anyone is still looking at this - here is a way to replace strings of more than one consecutive space with a the odf consecutive space tag:

irb(main):111:0> 'string    with   lots of weird         spacing'.gsub(/ {2,}/){|r| '<text:s text:c=' + r.count(" ").to_s + '/>'}
=> "string<text:s text:c=4/>with<text:s text:c=3/>lots of weird<text:s text:c=9/>spacing"

I'm guessing this could be put in lib/odf-report/field.rb as a new function along with the sanitize function.
