Too short text?

brolny · 07-20-2016, 05:14 AM

Only when I found that the Sigil has removed all '& s h y ;' from one my file during 'Reformat HTML' - I realized what this menu item really concerns .

Maybe it is better to clarify or extend the text 'Entities to Preserve' to make it more informative and precision?

Thanks.

PS.
“& n b s p ;” ⇒ “& # 1 6 0 ;” even when in the ignore list.

For the record: the soft hyphen entities weren't being "removed." They were being converted to their unicode equivalent characters. Which can't be seen (though they still behave as soft hyphens are supposed to).

As to   being converted to &#160, you'll have to provide some detailed steps to reproduce it. I don't experience this issue, myself (unless you're talking about an EPUB3--where named entities aren't valid in the first place).

Since you were quickly able to figure out what the Preserve Entities feature was for, I'd say the current name suffices.

Thanks! It's clear now.

@brolny: BTW, if you notice that Sigil has converted entities to Unicode characters, you can change them back with the ShadyCharacters plugin.

I need just hypherns. It is not important whether or not they are visible.
Thank a lot you for your attention!
