Answer 3

The text and code you are seeing will be different between all the browsers and it's how contenteditable fields work. For example, some browsers insert UTF-8 characters for spaces some &nbsp.

RedactorJS don't gives methods to normalize the text, so you can parse the text manually. Check this:

var html = $('#redactor').redactor('get');
var sanitizeHtml = html.replace(/\u00a0/g, ' ').replace(/ /g, ' ');
