Hi Kevin,
Working on my new book has brought an old issue to attention: it used to be that if I added NBSPs in my Word doc, when exported to HTML and imported into Sigil, the NBSPs were maintained. Then somewhere along development Sigil began stripping out the NBSPs. This is not a good thing. I, and I assume other writers, put them in there for a reason: I don't want, for example, a line ending with "Mr." then "Smith" falling to the next line. Similarly, if I choose to add spaces around the em dash to make the text more readable onscreen, I will add an NBSP between the word and the open of the em dash to keep it from falling to the next line, which is adamantly avoided in print and should be in digital books. So Sigil stripping them out means I have to search for every instance and put it back in again. Not good. Please reverse. I beg you.
