Re: Math whitespace commands and docx output

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

You can see how pandoc handles whitespace here (using the
texmath executable from texmath):

% echo "\\qquad" | texmath -t omml
<m:oMathPara>
  <m:oMathParaPr>
    <m:jc m:val="center" />
  </m:oMathParaPr>
  <m:oMath>
    <m:r>
      <m:t>  </m:t>
    </m:r>
  </m:oMath>
</m:oMathPara>

It uses a "text" node with an appropriate combination of unicode
whitespaces.  I don't know if there's a better way to do this,
but I can say that the results look fine in Word, so this may be
a LibreOffice issue.
