Bug ID: 148025
Summary: PDF does not write leading spaces
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Copy and paste source code text from libreoffice pdf guides loses indent space
characters.
Reproducing:
For example, the bottom of
https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS7.3/GS73-GettingStarted.pdf#page=431
has sample python code. A copy and paste as text loses the blank line and any
line with leading spaces is pasted with a single space before the code, losing
the other spaces. Tabs are ignored. Code is formatted in Liberation Mono, a
fixed-pitch font, with 4 spaces per indent.
Sample output:
import uno
def HelloWorld():
doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
cell = doc.Sheets[0]['A1']
cell.setString('Hello World from Python')
return
This is important for a language like python because indents are part of the
syntax.
It's expected the space characters would be retained, at least with an option.
