This might fall into the scope of "regex stupidity" again, but I have a frequently-updated fanfic that uses five spaces (not a tab) to indent the paragraphs in the summary/description. It looks bad in the book details panel and I got tired of manually fixing it every time the fic updated, so:

Code:

replace_metadata:
 description=>(\s\s\s\s\s)=>

The regex tester says this should work, but it didn't. I tested and the description replace works for other parts of the summary text, just not the spaces. Any suggestions?
