Preserve non-breaking spaces after calling purify method

[Esteban Trujillo Franco]

Hi all, 

Currently I'm sanitizing an input which contains some non-breaking spaces ( ) that must remain after calling purify method.

Example input:

<table>

    <tr>

        <td>1&nbsp;2</td>

    </tr>

</table>

Expected output:

<table>

    <tr>

        <td>1&nbsp;2</td>

    </tr>

</table>

Is there a way to accomplish that goal? I already tried with %Core.EscapeNonASCIICharacters but it doesn't solve the issue, since the blank spaces are part of the ASCII charset.

Looks like there are some forum posts related to that issue, but the forum is down right now.

Thanks Keith! I was looking for exactly that forum entry but it was down. Now is clear why it is happening and why is not possible to avoid that behavior.
