## Description

WordPress by default omits consecutive spaces and leading/trailing spaces. KeepSpace
can automatically convert regular spaces to special character spaces to prevent 
them from being omitted.

**Main functions:**

 * Automatically convert regular spaces into special-character spaces
 * Supports four independent toggles for title, excerpt, content, and comments
 * Provides three types of special space characters to choose from

**Three types of special space characters:**

 1. **Non-breaking space (\u00A0)** – Recommended
 2.  * Same visual effect as  
     * Counts as only 1 character and does not affect excerpt truncation
 3. **Chinese full-width space (\u3000)**
 4.  * In a Chinese environment, it’s very natural
     * The width is exactly one Chinese character
 5. **HTML Entity Space ( )**
 6.  * Best compatibility, supported by all browsers
     * Counting 5 characters will affect the summary extraction
