Export correct unicode spaces to epub/html
Logging this as a new feature, but it could also be a bug? Also logging this under "EPUB" since thats most important to me, but it also affects "HTML"
Currently the only space characters exported by InDesign are the regular space and the non breaking space. All others are converted to regular spaces on export. These spaces should be retained in the epub, since they are supported by reading systems and in many cases it is typographically incorrect to use regular spaces.
Spaces with direct Unicode mappings:
Normal Space U+0020
Nonbreaking Space U+00A0
Em Space U+2003
En Space U+2002
Third Space U+2004
Quarter Space U+2005
Sixth Space U+2006
Thin Space U+2009
Hair Space U+200A
Punctuation Space U+2008
Figure Space U+2007
InDesign custom spaces without unicode mappings:
Nonbreaking Space (fixed width) N/A (should be mapped to U+00A0, regular non-breaking space)
Flush Space N/A (this one is OK mapped to regular space)
I have full example files, but InDesign user voice doesn't accept InDesign files as attachments, nor zip, HTML, or epub. Attached HTML saved as text.
