Subject: Incorrect quantity of en-spaces
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2023 14:05:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e4303ee4-d74a-4411-9088-314ea01bcf00@app.fastmail.com> (raw)
The org-mode syntax document describes entities as:
> \NAME POST
> \NAME{}
> Where NAME and POST are not separated by a whitespace character.
and POST is defined as:
> Either the end of line or a non-alphabetic character.
So using the test document:
```
\_ Foo
```
(a backslash, underscore, three spaces, and then the word Foo)
I would expect to get only 2 en-spaces but I am getting 3. Looking at org-entities, an underscore with 2 spaces gets 2 en-spaces, whereas an underscore with 3 spaces gets 3 en-spaces, but if we match all 3 spaces as NAME then POST becomes invalid because "F" is neither the end of the line nor a non-alphabetic character, so we can only match the first two spaces as NAME.
emacs version: 29.1
org-mode version: 9bbc21df84d507e568a3ebd17e105cdb9e163784 (latest in git)
