 * I’ve experienced this plugin puts ` ` inside code, too, which results in
   broken behavior.
 * Examples of resulting source code:
    - HTML: `<li class="p d k&nbsp;f v&nbsp;e m">`
    - JavaScript: `if(text&nbsp;!= "")`
 * Could you please fix the plugin to replace spaces in plain text (outside tags,`
   <script>` or `<style>` blocks, etc.) only?
