keep the non breaking spaces on the HTML output

[Beurt]

Hi,

I use French. In French, we use non-breaking spaces (  in HTML) very often (e.g. before every double punctuation, such as semicolons).

There are Unicode characters for non-breaking spaces (yes there are multiple sorts :-)). Unfortunately, Marpit removes them from the HTML output.

input:

There is a non-breaking space before the exclamation mark !

HTML output (it is gone, nor replaced with   which would have been good too):

<p>There is a non-breaking space before the exclamation mark !</p>

Does anyone know how to keep the non-breaking space with Marpit (usually, I use marp-cli)?

It was not reproduced. At least to me, it looks like non-breaking spaces in Markdown are preserved also in rendered HTML.

Unicode 0xa0 (=no-break space) is visualized by VS Code. You can also inspect   in the exported HTML.

I am very sorry, you are true, it appears that it is my editor that is removing the non breaking spaces!

Thank you for your quick answer.
