Map title spacing in xml file. #96

What steps will reproduce the problem?

//////
Hi All –

We’re getting a recurring problem in pretty much every deployment which you 
might be able to solve?

Problem
In ArcMap, mappers often remove spaces from the map title so it aligns nicely 
within the allocated space. For example:
Liberia
Ebola Outbreak
Administration Boundaries
(as of 22 Sep 2014)

This looks fine in ArcMap, but when the title is picked up by the export tool 
and sent to XML, the results is something like this:

LiberiaEbola OutbreakAdministration Boundaries(as of 22 Sep 2014)

These are displayed in the map catalogue, and make us look rather careless - 
which in my view loses us credibility.

Solution?
Is it possible to detect the manual line breaks in the title text and replace 
them with a space before exporting to XML? 
You would probably then want to check for double spaces, in case a space was 
left in at the end of a line.

Is that something that could be considered for action? I’m keen to push it as 
it wastes time on pretty much every deployment and in the meantime makes us 
look a bit shoddy! Let me know what you think.

Many thanks,
Nick.

What is the expected output?
Nicely formatted text for the map title in XML

What do you see instead?
funny spacing in the map title

Recreate the problem?
Create a new map and use line breaks in the map title. The xml map title will 
have incorrect spacing.

verified in 10.2.2. Still needs to be tested in 10.1.
