After a few weeks of writing posts on WordPress, I was getting very irritated when
all the HTML entities I added to my examples kept being converted into characters—
e.g. HTML entities like &gt; &lt; &quot; would convert to > < " — when I saved the
post I was working on.

To make matters worse, all the spaces I was using to align my coding examples would
disappear when switching between “HTML” mode and “Visual” mode, even if I used the&
nbsp; entity.

So, I finally bit the bullet and wrote this little plugin to fix these problems.
It does just two things:

 1. Allows you to enter HTML entities like &gt; &lt; &amp; etc. while in “Visual” mode
    and they will stay put, even after you save your post.
 2. Allows you to type extra spaces while in “Visual” mode (or &nbsp; in “HTML” mode)
    and they will stay put too, allowing you to correctly indent code samples, etc.

If you are writing blog posts with source code or HTML examples, you may find this
little plugin helps you avoid a ton of aggravation.

Works with TinyMCE and the TinyMCE Advanced plugin.

Please note, this plugin is a patch for issues with WordPress’s uses of TinyMCE,
and not the editor itself.

If you try this plugin and like what you see, or you have questions or problems,
feel free to email me at mike@englishmike.net or visit the [TinyMCE Entities Patch Plugin Home Page](http://englishmike.net/tinymceentities-plugin/)

_(Not tested on any version of WordPress older than 2.5.1. It may work on earlier
versions, but I just don’t know for sure. Try it and see. If it doesn’t work simply
deactivate the plugin. If it does work, please let me know!!)_
