Hi, in [1], Ihor fixed a bug I reported in ox-odt. Unfortunately, this fix broke figures with several lines of captions such as: #+CAPTION: first line, #+CAPTION: second line [[file:media/myPicture.png]] This is because, in this case, org-odt-plain-text is called at some point with " " as value for `text`. In this context, both `leading` and `trailing` temporary variables contain the same value as `text`, making the `substring` call crash. The attached patch fixes the issue by considering that there is no leading/trailing content when the input only contains spaces.
