Fix pesky ASCII 160 (non-breaking space) character in markdown #72

Closed samhstn closed 5 years ago

samhstn commented 5 years ago

Due to using the wrong space character (don't know how this initially happened), markdown headers are not displaying or linking correctly

These should be changed for a unicode ASCII 32 space character which will render correctly

I'd love to understand why ASCII 160 gets inserted instead of ASCII 32 ever in the context of hitting the space bar in a text editor. 🤔

So, I realised how this happens. A # symbol is typed with Alt + 3 If you keep the Alt key pressed when you type <space> it will result in an ASCII 160 char not an ASCII 32 char

Great detective work @samhstn 💡
