Multiple consecutive spaces are collapsed to one space in ggtext::element_markdown

[Close-your-eyes]

Dear all,

I noted that when I supply an axis text or axis title or whatever with ggtext::element_markdown, then muliple consecutive spaces are reduced to one space only.

Is that an expected behaviour?

This is expected behavior. The Markdown spec calls for consecutive spaces to be collapsed to 1. You can enter   to enter a non-breaking space character, which will be preserved.

Very nice. Thank you.
