The problem:
No spaces appeared in the thesis supervisor line on the abstract page.
The bug:
@String(ThesisSupervisor=@Parm{ThesisSupervisor})
@String(ThesisSupervisorTitle=@Parm{ThesisSupervisorTitle})
expand to:
@String(ThesisSupervisor=Joe Schmo)
@String(ThesisSupervisorTitle=Big Wig)
Scribe ignores the spaces here (why, I don't know).
The fix (diff below):
Delimit the @params.
