How to make Dijit Editor keep  ?

Question

Dijit Editor removes all   entities from user input.

With a Dijit Editor in hand, go into HTML mode, enter some text with some   inside. Go back to WYSIWYG mode, back to HTML mode, then see that your entity disappeared.

Is there any workaround?

HTML

<h1>Test file for Editor &amp;nbsp support</h1>
<div id="br" data-dojo-type="dijit.Editor" data-dojo-props='plugins:["viewsource"]'><p>a&nbsp;b</p></div>

Javascript

require(['dijit/dijit', 'dijit/Editor', 'dijit/_editor/plugins/ViewSource', 'dojo/parser'], function(dijit, editor, viewSource, parser){});

And the same here to play : http://jsfiddle.net/ABaYL/2/

I think this problem is not dojo related.

The entity did not disappear. It was converted to its character. The entity " " was converted to its representation as a character " ". So the entites respresentation is still there. If you want to display  , write "& amp ; nbsp;" without the spaces, but i think you already know that since you managed to display   in your post. Even the stackoverflow editors filters   to its representation.
