[O] How to escape spaces after full stops?

[Marius Hofert]

Dear org-mode experts,

If I create a .org file containing this line...

,----[ minimal_example.org ]
| This is just some text on p. 17. Some more text. 
`----

... and then export it to pdf via C-c C-e p, you can see from the output that
the space after "p." is too large. In a standard .tex file one would escape the
space via "p.\ 17". But this leads to a backslash in the .pdf (when
exported). How can this space be escaped?

Cheers,

Marius
