not rendering as expected in newer versions of this library?

[unicornsoftwareinc]

Node.js version:
20.0.0

OS version:
macOS 14.3.1

Description:
&nbsp ; doesn't appear to be rendering "correctly" as a space character with pug templates. Instead it renders as "&nbsp ;". This appears to work as I would expect in version 6.0.0 of this library but upon updating recently to 12.0.0, it is no longer working as it used to.

Please note: I have inserted an extra space before the semi-colon of the "&nbsp ;" inside this ticket because GitHub actually renders it as the non breaking space character.

Actual behavior:
&nbsp ; renders as as "&nbsp ;" when using it inside pug templates. For example, if you have the following inside a pug template: "p(style='font-size: 12px;') &nbsp ;", in the actual rendered email you will see "&nbsp ;" instead of a space character.

Expected behavior:
&nbsp ; renders as as non-breaking space character.

Code to reproduce:
On version 12.0.0 (and perhaps other earlier versions outside of 6.0.0), render a pug template with the following: "p(style='font-size: 12px;') &nbsp ;" and send a test email. In the received email, you will see "&nbsp ;" instead of a space character in the rendered paragraph.

Thanks

Same with version 11.1.1

UPD here - issue is related to dependency cheerio. A few weeks ago author published version 1.0.0 after previous 1.0.0-rc.12 and now because dependency is written like

"cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.12" 

The new version is being installed. If you want to have a quick fix - install version 1.0.0-rc.12 next to the email-templates package in root package.json , or you also can play with "overrides" or "resolutions" in package.json depending on what you are using - yarn or npm

Have a problem that seems to be related, previously working link with & started to appear in templates like &
Putting the following line to package.json solved the problem
"cheerio": "1.0.0-rc.12" thanks to @IhorShmidt

Another workaround is to disable juice (set juice: false to email templates options) if you don't use an external stylesheet in your email code

@titanism is it possible Cheerio can be added as a dep and republish on NPM please?
