Add nbsp symbol codes to convert throught sanitize_title

[hokku]

Default filters needs to be supplemented nbsp codes such as

[ '%e2%80%af', '%e2%80%87', '%e2%81%a0' ]

and

[ ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', '⁠', '⁠' ]

Hi,I wanna make a patch for this but I need clarify something so I don't get it wrong.
In this case, do mean "Default filters needs to be supplemented nbsp" is to sanitize all kind of Unicode characters of SPACE to be its HTML Entity "&nbsp" ?

I need to clarify something so I don't get it wrong.

I'm missing some context here too :)

@SergeyBiryukov are you looking at this for 5.3? I'm not sure I understand what's being fixed and why.

[davidbaumwald]

With version 5.3 Beta 1 releasing today, I'm moving this to Future Release.

Per Sergey during today's scrub:

Will try to address before beta, or punt otherwise.

[hellofromTonya]

Marking for a refresh as the patch no longer applies cleanly to trunk.

[SergeyBiryukov]

Didn't get a chance to write the tests for this in time for 5.6 Beta 1, moving to the next release for now.

Patch refreshed and simplified as per today's bug scrub

@hellofromTonya @SergeyBiryukov I refreshed and simplified the previous patch as per today's bug scrub.

[hellofromTonya]

Thank you @audrasjb! I'll get the unit tests written for it. And it should be ready for commit consideration.

[hellofromTonya]

Works: shows before and after for space character %e2%80%af

[hellofromTonya]

Applied patch. Works as expected in the unit tests and in manual live testing. Marking this ticket as a commit candidate. @SergeyBiryukov it's ready for your review.

[ocean90]

Why are the changes part of sanitize_title() and not sanitize_title_with_dashes() which already handles some of the cases?

The list also seems to be incomplete. I think if we're going to update the list we should cover all space characters. Here's a filter I have recently used (which is also incomplete):

<?php
/**
 * Extends sanitize_title_with_dashes() to replace more space related characters.
 *
 * @param string $title     Sanitized title.
 * @param string $raw_title The title prior to sanitization.
 * @param string $context   The context for which the title is being sanitized.
 * @return string The sanitized string.
 */
function trac_replace_spaces_in_titles( string $title, string $raw_title, string $context ): string {
        if ( 'save' !== $context ) {
                return $title;
        }

        $title = str_replace(
                [
                        '%e2%80%89', // THIN SPACE.
                        '&thinsp;', // THIN SPACE.
                        '&#8201;', // THIN SPACE.
                        '%e2%80%8a', // HAIR SPACE.
                        '%e2%80%91', // NON-BREAKING HYPHEN.
                        '%e2%80%92', // FIGURE DASH.
                        '%e2%80%af', // NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE.
                        '&#8239;', // NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE.
                ],
                '-',
                $title
        );

        $title = preg_replace( '|-+|', '-', $title );
        $title = trim( $title, '-' );

        return $title;
}
add_filter( 'sanitize_title', 'trac_replace_spaces_in_titles', 10, 3 );

5.7 Beta 1 is happening in shortly. Ran out of time to get this ticket into the release. Punting to 5.8.

If any maintainer or committer feels this can be resolved in time, or wishes to assume ownership during a specific cycle, feel free to update the milestone accordingly.
