Add spaces between lines in RML reports OpenERP

In OpenERP, the rml repots generates will omit the white spaces between lines. So in order to maintain the white spaces between lines needs to modify the base code in openerp report module or modify the rml syntax.

Solution 1:

                 style.__dict__.update(extra_style)
             result = []
             for i in self._textual(node).split('\n'):
+                if len(i.strip()) == 0:
+                    i = '<font color="white"> </font>'
                 result.append(platypus.Paragraph(i, style, **(utils.attr_get(node, [], {'bulletText':'str'}))))
             return result
         elif node.tag=='barCode':

Solution 2:

Replace <para></para> with <xpre></xpre> in rml file.

ex:

<xpre style="terp_default_9">[[ format(o.note or '') ]]</xpre>
