A so-called WYSIWYG HTML editor is propagating a lie. I can use my standards

Using nbsp for formatting is dicey; even in a monospaced font, you do not
have assurance that thing will align as you intended. You certainly will
not have enough control over the browser to ensure that the typeface and size
being used is what you expected.

I have no argument with anything you said.

All my readers are set to text, if for no other reason than safety.
