How to avoid the \xc2 character or in my code snippets?
Ah, got it. Just a bit of poking around in the plugin's source fixed this issue for me...
If you beautify the syntaxhighlighter3/scripts/shCore.js file, then you can see there is a config variable, which includes:
space: " "All I had to do was change it to space: " " and repack it.
I ran into this problem when python code had been copied from skype. Since I use vim to edit, I went ahead and found all of these by doing this:
:hls/<space>This shows where these odd space characters aren't because they're not highlighted.
Yank one of the characters which will store it into register 0.
Use the substitute command and use <ctrl-R> <0> to paste that character into the command prompt.
:%s/<ctrl-R><0>/ /gIt will look like
:%s/ / /gbut when run, it will correct the problem.
NBSP isn't considered whitespace for the purpose of indentation anyways, so you should take a look at what the pre select user script does and mimic it.
