Possibly silly question -- non breaking spaces in stories

I'm putting together a website for a friend to exhibit her poetry. Since poetry depends somewhat on presentation, I'm kept busy trying to make the spacing come out right while staying within the Geeklog publishing rules.

I find that I'm really missing the non-breaking space. I've tried adding   to the code in html mode, but geeklog simply swallows it.

So I've added various incarnations of nbsp, &nbsp,   to the admin_html array, but it doesn't seem to be recognized. Thought I'd ask first before digging further into the code.

Thanks, as they say, in advance.

This takes place in the kses.class.php file under system/classes. I'm no expert in that class, but I think if you add
$string = str_replace(' ', ' ', $string);
to the end of the
function _normalize_entities($string)
It won't eat the non-breaking spaces. But I haven't tried this.

  works for me in stories (with html mode). I am using Geeklog 1.4.1 with the advance editor turned off.

Geeklog is notoriously bad with keeping HTML entities and some special characters (e.g. backslashes) intact. But things are getting better and, as Laugh pointed out, Geeklog 1.4.1 should keep HTML entities intact.
