Probably more busy than lazy if you are still working on the MKDoc
migration!

Well, I spoke too soon. I ran the webpages that were showing the
incorrect character and did not see it so assumed things were fixed.
However, running the test case that I created and posted to the list
still results in an error when run with Petal::Parser::HTB and does not
produce any visible output when run without it. Shouldn't the nbsp
entity be getting changed to something?

Would you take a patch to the testsuite that checks for these problems?
I'm wondering if it's a setup issue on my systems or something in Petal.
Last time I'll ask (for today<g>), have you run the test I posted a
couple weeks ago? Do you see the invalid character being printed?

Thanks,
William

Using MKDoc::XML::Decode::XHTML?

Should that be visible in a terminal? Running my tests in the terminal
window do not reveal a character being inserted in place of the &nbsp;.

Yeah, that's nice. I thought there was mention of support for these
entities. I wonder why it's not working for me?


Thanks,
