bondagejs clips an empty space from text nodes that come after <<command>> nodes

[blurymind]

Basically if you write something like
Hello friends<<echo>> wow
bondagejs will clip the space that comes before wow
and the player will see as text
Hello friendswow

This is not quite as noticeable in bondagejs online demo, since it adds different nodes as new lines, but it is quite noticeable in gdevelop, where it has been reported at the forum
https://forum.gdevelop-app.com/t/yarn-lines-of-text-merging-together-when-using-commands-on-the-yarn-node/21452/11

The way I fixed it for now in gdevelop's wrapper using bondagejs is by adding an empty space to the printed text whenever a command is called. That makes it less noticeable, but doesnt make it go away :)

The issue can be viewed on bondagejs' online demo

I tried to fix this in bondagejs, but I couldnt figure out what was eating that space at the start of text nodes that come after a command

It's the lexer and I've run into the same issue while implementing inline expressions. I'm working on a solution.

As of today, the code is in lexer.js

      const spaceMatch = this.getCurrentLine().substring(this.yylloc.last_column - 1)
                                              .match(/^\s*/);

      if (spaceMatch.length !== 0) {
        this.yylloc.last_column += spaceMatch[0].length;
      }

I've create a kludgey workaround that is now in my fork. https://github.com/alforno/bondage.js/commit/eeddb49def38d16f8bb0c54ad21e0b5c684784d9
