Article Manager adding many &nbsp's to code Can't Post

I'm creating articles and using the edit code window to paste in some html code for certain articles and the program feels fit to add many non breaking spaces throughout once the article has been created. Here is an example of the original pasted in code and the code after the article is saved:

Original:

<p>A Milwaukee Common Council committee grilled three 2009 La Follette School graduates on a public affairs workshop report at a public hearing in July &#8212; and then tabled their research without taking a vote.</p>
<p>The three, Gail Krumenauer, Kevin Luecke and Seth Nowak, presented for about 30 minutes on July 15 to the Public Works Committee in Milwaukee’s City Hall on recommendations to improve the city’s solid waste collection system.</p>
<p>“I am grateful for the insight we gained at the Common Council committee meeting, experiencing the collision of academic research with the challenges of the policymaking process,” Krumenauer says. “I hope the energy and momentum we found in the Milwaukee agencies that served as our clients will carry through to tangible results and improve a public service for the City’s residents.”</p>
<p>Mayor Tom Barrett had suggested that the students share their findings with the Common Council after they presented the report to him in May as the culmination of their public affairs workshop taught by professor Susan Yackee.<br />
The three and co-author Catherine Hall recommended that Milwaukee adopt a weight-based fee system for the collection of municipal solid waste. </p>
<p>Other municipalities that have linked fees to the amount of waste collected have reported reductions in waste and increases in recycling. The students found that a weight-based fee is more cost-effective than Milwaukee’s current annual $150 flat fee, which does not produce enough revenue for the city to cover the costs of solid waste collection. A weight-based fee structure is also more equitable because users pay according to the amount of services they use.</p>

Any thoughts?

Hi there,

Are you using the WYSIWYG editor to enter this, or a plain text window?

If your code is already formatted before entering it into Article Manager and you don't want to do any additional formatting, you may want to make sure you're using the plain text editor, instead of the WYSIWYG editor -- the WYSIWYG editor will often try to add additional formatting in an effort to be helpful. :)

I am copying text from the code window of Dreamweaver and pasting into the edit code window in Article Manager.

Hi there,

Yeah, if you've already got the html formatted text, I'd switch the field to a regular text field. That way, the WYSIWYG editor can't alter anything -- you don't want it to, you've already formatted it yourself. :)
