Heya,
I'm using pandoc to convert documents exported from Google Docs in docx 
format to reStructuredText — or anything else, really, the issue I'm facing 
seems independent from the output format.
A concrete example is this 
document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wAMVrKIA2qtRGmoVDSUBJGmYZSygUaR0uOMW1GV3YE0/edit#heading=h.9zjhwskw53j8 
, which uses indented paragraphs for code samples.

I'm trying to preserve the spaces used for indentation in those code 
samples, but I'm failing to convince pandoc to do so.

The spaces I'm interested in are there in the docx. Here's an excerpt from 
its xml markup:

      <w:r w:rsidDel="00000000" w:rsidR="00000000" w:rsidRPr="00000000">
        <w:rPr>
          <w:rFonts w:ascii="Consolas" w:cs="Consolas" 
w:eastAsia="Consolas" w:hAnsi="Consolas"/>
          <w:sz w:val="20"/>
          <w:szCs w:val="20"/>
          <w:rtl w:val="0"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">2015-01-01 * "Taxi home from concert in 
Brooklyn"</w:t>
        <w:br w:type="textWrapping"/>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">  Assets:Cash      -20 USD  ; inline 
comment</w:t>
        <w:br w:type="textWrapping"/>
        <w:t xml:space="preserve">  Expenses:Taxi</w:t>
      </w:r>

Beancount recognizes those paragraphs as blockquotes (not sure why, maybe 
on the basis of their indentation?), e.g.:

  ,BlockQuote
 [Para [Strong [Str ";",Space,Str "I",Space,Str "paid",Space,Str 
"and",Space,Str "left",Space,Str "the",Space,Str "taxi,",Space,Str 
"forgot",Space,Str "to",Space,Str "take",Space,Str "change,",Space,Str 
"it",Space,Str "was",Space,Str "cold.",LineBreak],Str 
"2015-01-01",Space,Str "*",Space,Str "\"Taxi",Space,Str "home",Space,Str 
"from",Space,Str "concert",Space,Str "in",Space,Str 
"Brooklyn\"",LineBreak,Str "Assets:Cash",Space,Str "-20",Space,Str 
"USD",Space,Str ";",Space,Str "inline",Space,Str "comment",LineBreak,Str 
"Expenses:Taxi"]]

but note how it has normalized spaces to single Space tokens used as 
separators.

Is there a way to tell pandoc to preserve those spaces, which are valuable 
to me, in anything it decides is a BlockQuote ?
(Note that this happens before external filters are called, so AFAICT I 
can't work around this using --filter)

Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.
