  is converted to 0xA0 in InnerText #493

Open tamws27 opened 1 year ago

tamws27 commented 1 year ago

I found a quite weird problem.

I follow the guide "Decode and strip HTML" example to decode the html before loading https://html-agility-pack.net/online-examples

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
string subcriterionCritiqueDecode = WebUtility.HtmlDecode(page); // decode html first before loadHtml
doc.LoadHtml(subcriterionCritiqueDecode);

I have some html code like this inside a <td>:
<td>1.0 through&nbsp; version 2.0</td>

I expect the &nbsp; will be converted to space (hex: 0x20) in the InnerText, however I found that the HAP converted it into 0xA0! (I checked by showing the hex value using Console.WriteLine("{0:X2}", (int)ch);

HAP version: 1.11.46 .NET version: 7.0.1

Your expectation is wrong. There is no problem.

\  is the HTML entity for the no-break space character, and the Unicode character code for the no-break space character is indeed 0xA0.
