Item5103 mentions escaping non-breaking spaces so that they appear as   in TMCE. I thought - what if someone did that because they wanted   to appear when the page is rendered normally? I got a surprise:

TML	Foswiki renders as	TMCE renders as
`&nbsp<nop>;`		`<nop>`;

Verbatim:

&nbsp<nop>;

Literal:

It seems that browsers "helpfully" decide that &nbsp is just "bad HTML" and interprets it as a non-breaking-space entity.

The solution is to move the <nop>. For example:

Verbatim:

&<nop>nbsp;

Literal:
