Did you have &nbsp; or &nbsp in V8. The semicolon is needed. Perhaps that is
your problem.

If adding the ; so you have a properly formatted HTML entity reference does
not work, you might want to try to put a div tag around it. Sometimes that
prevents SAS from masking the HTML. Something like:

Title '<div>Hello &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There</div>';

You might also try to use the numeric representation for the entity. Sorry
that I can't look that up for you in my reference books as I am on the road.
I assume you can find it with a Google search. The syntax is:

&#169;

I know I have used this value (i.e., the 169) before. But can't remember if
it is the non breakable space, the amper, or the percent.

Subject: 9.1 multiple spaces in footnote using ODS HTML

I want this to work.  It worked in 8.2:

ods html body='c:\test.html';
footnote 'Hello &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp There';
data stuff;
input x;
cards;
1
;
run;

proc print;
run;
ods html close;

The problem is that 9.1 is converting my "&nbsp" to "&amp;nbsp".  How do I
tell SAS 9.1 to not convert it?

Thanks,
Chris
