This fixes the issue of non-breaking spaces being discarded, resulting in words being joined together. `\s` and `\S` only match on space (character 32). HTML often uses non-breaking spaces (character 160). A more general approach is to use `[[:space:]]` instead. According to the `Regexp` documentation, `[[:space:]]` matches "Whitespace character ([:blank:], newline, carriage return, etc.)" Fixes hgmnz#68

This is based on a currently unmerged PR to the main repo: hgmnz#69 It fixes an issue where truncate_html would remove non breaking spaces, resulting in words being joined together incorrectly. Now they are treated like other whitespaces.

Bump! I need this, it is such a useless gem, but I am having issues with characters being stripped. |
