Handling of &nbsp and other html entries in gfm #88

Open MarcinAman opened 3 years ago

According to the specification gfm supports html entries like &nbsp. Are they supported by this library? If so, how?

Given a test case:

Hello World! Docs with period issue, e.g.&nbsp;this.

using:

val gfmFlavourDescriptor = GFMFlavourDescriptor()
val markdownAstRoot = IntellijMarkdownParser(gfmFlavourDescriptor).buildMarkdownTreeFromString(testString)

I get a text node from 37 to 52 instead of some code or other form of marker that this fragment contains html entry.

This is one of the features that hasn't been implemented yet. The ignored test is here: https://github.com/JetBrains/markdown/blob/76fb99fb6b04203f2c821b031c43ef0d202a9445/src/commonTest/kotlin/org/intellij/markdown/CommonMarkSpecTest.kt#L155-L160
