Thanks for the analysis and steps to reproduce. It is quite weird that I
cannot reproduce the unicode non-breaking space issue; on my Debian Unstable
machine, copying from Firefox 102.6.0 ESR on that page seems to always gets
0x20 as space (probably I am missing something). But yes, it should be okay
to avoid &nbsp; in HTML source code given the <pre> tag. Please go ahead
with the change and commit, and we can check the rendered results then.

Best,
