Date format is corrupted by non-breaking space

[Jones-S]

Unfortunately the rest plugin does add a non-breaking space to a date field's return value:

This   is a non breaking space and it is not present if I access the endpoint without /rest

Just to tell you. I guess this could be classified as bug.

@Jones-S Did you turn on smartypants parsing?

[Jones-S]

Yes I do. But even then, why would I want a normal space to be transformed into a non-breaking space? Is that what smartypants is supposed to do?

[Jones-S]

Oh I see:

Replace existing spaces with non-break spaces for spaces used as a thousand separator and between a number and the unit symbol that follows it (for most common units).

I have to check if there is some configuration to smartypants, which could disable this...
