docx_summary removes hyphens from text

[daviddiviny]

Please let me know if you need a reprex, but I notice that when extracting tables using docx_summary, any hyphens in words are removed, e.g. "Inspector-General" becomes "InspectorGeneral".

This occurred when extracting tables from the Australian Government Budget at this link.

Thanks to @elipousson for pointing out that this is probably due to docx_summary not the {officerExtras} package.

The issue is that the hyphens in your table are non breaking hyphens which are added as a <noBreakHyphen> element. As a result these hyphens get dropped in docx_summary as it only extracts text. I just added a PR with a possible fix. See #575 .
