There are quite a few ways to do this.
I like to use the CDATA way as it is build for this kind of jobs in XML.

TIP: You can use any special HTML character in CDATA for example.
thanks

+1 from me.
Thank you, Yenthe :)
Thank a lot Yenthe.
And it works for qweb and xml views
@Pascal, I have found that &nbsp; works for me. I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it according to W3C guidelines on XML/XHTML, but it has worked for me for Odoo in 8.0.
Luke its no safe way for sure and I even believe it is against the XML rule as its no default syntaxis. So I'd place it in a CDATA to be sure.
@Yenthe, Good to know. It seems to be all over the place in Odoo's core code however (which is where I came across it in the first place): https://github.com/odoo/odoo/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%26amp%3Bnbsp%3B Is this something you think I should open an issue and/or issue some PR's for? As far as i'm aware Google uses W3C compliance as a part of their search engine ranking algorithms so it may be worth replacing it with the proper syntax/markup if this is the case.
@Luke I think this is something they should look at yes. They should really provide a solution for putting spaces and tabs inside a report too, both for their own and the community to use. So perhaps a request / wishlist request for this would be nice. As for Google, I do not think their robots parse this deep and can access those files? The elements are already 'translated' when they show up in the browser so I don't think it affects ranking.
Perfect for me. I take this notation. Thanks a lot misters!
I use this hack
<t t-set="foo" t-value=" ' '.replace(' ',u'\xa0').encode('utf-8') "/>
<t t-esc="foo"/>
in this way you can replace all instances of spaces
<t t-set="foo" t-value="o.name.replace(' ',u'\xa0').encode('utf-8')"/>
thanks
