Proposal: (non-breaking) thin space

Proposal: (non-breaking) thin space

Hi!

Currently, pandoc supports typesetting of a non-breaking space with '\ ' 
(backslash preceding a space). This is correctly converted to Latex and 
docx (and probably to other output formats. I would really see support for 
a non-breaking thin space, too. In Latex it is '\,'. Using the 
Unicode character U+202F indeed works, but this character is invisible in 
markdown. It also requires utf-encoded files.

A quick workaround  would be a filter. Maybe someone can provide a code 
template (gist)?

Kind regards,

Pandoc Markdown already includes the rule that backslashes can
escape any punctuation (including ,).  So `\,` is already assigned.

You can always insert a unicode thin space, though.

Okay, great. Then the proposal will change to:

Bug: The docx writer does not convert the thin space '\, ' to the
corresponding unicode character U+202F. Rather then just the comma (,) is
printed.

If filled an issue: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2025
