Thu Oct 25 21:59:51 2018, comment #2: Thank you for the report, the original issue indeed seems to be fixed. The footnote issue can be fixed without need to use sed. I cannot find the source of the spurious spaces, but tex4ht can be instructed to ignore spaces using the \special{t4ht@)} command. I've added this command to the footnote configuration in the ooffice configuration file and it seems to fix the issue. BTW, it is better to use make4ht -f odt filename.tex instead of the old mk4ht oolatex, it fixes lot of issues with file names, Unicode and it also supports filtering of the XML files before the xt-pipes processing. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/447968/2891 for example. The additional information about tex4ht \special commands can be found for example here: https://www.kodymirus.cz/src4ht/tex4ht-moz18.html	Michal Hoftich <michal_h21>
Thu Oct 25 19:29:44 2018, comment #1: I can't confirm the behaviour for \ref{} and \cite{} but only for \footnote{} and \footcite{}. In those cases, there is a possibility for a dirty workaround: $ cat /usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env \| sed -E "s:(4oo.+)(mv):\1sed -E 's/( )\{2,\}(<t4htlink)/\\\\2/g':g" > ~/texmf/tex4ht/base/unix/tex4ht.env && mktexlsr This changes the "packing" behaviour of "-coo" to not just move the generated content.xml, but to replace the unwanted whitespaces first. For my usecase this seems to work. (Make sure the paths are correct and exist on your system and that you don't override already existing custom settings on your system!) This workaround is based on some assumptions: 1. The Bug seems to be fixed for \ref and \cite 2. But it is still present for footnotes 3. A single whitespace before a link tag is valid and there because the TeX-Author wanted it 4. Multiple Spaces are Bug-induced code that is completely unwanted.	Florian Zumkeller-Quast <branleb>
Thu Dec 13 14:17:09 2012, original submission: When converting to ODF using mk4ht oolatex texput "xhtml,ooffice,bib-,hidden-ref" extra spaces appear after cross references (\ref{}) and citations (\cite{}). A minimal example is https://github.com/muelleki/lm-template/archive/oolatex-spaces.zip (ZIP) or https://github.com/muelleki/lm-template/tree/oolatex-spaces (GIT). The extra space appears with and without hidden-ref. Can this be worked around, or is it a bug?	Kirill Müller <muelleki>
