[old thread] non breaking spaces (* and  ) automatically removed
Hello,
I have a really big problem with non breaking spaces, that are not written as " " but as "& #160;" or " ", what - as far as I understand it - is just the decimal or hexadecimal way of writing a non breaking space.
In the 0.5x.0 versions Sigil automatically replaced these with " " what was ok, since it was the same thing.
But in the 0.6 and now the 0.7. version Sigil just replaces them with "normal" spaces. When you use non breaking spaces for your layout, this is a big problem, since in HTML more than space is just treated as one single space.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour? I have to work with EPUBs that were created not by me, EPUB files, that have these non breaking spaces in it.
I tried to uncheck the checkboxes in the preferences "Automatically clean and format html source", but that does not work.
Sigil does that replacement when I open the EPUB, so there is no way of getting around it, by replacing the spaces myself with a search/replace or something like that.
Does anyone have an idea, because that bug (or feature?) makes it impossible for me to use newer Sigil versions and I have to use the old 0.5.3 version :-(
Thanks and bye
