Certain whitespace in MD presents as "Â Â Â Â Â" in External Help

[jongeller]

While trying to build MAML from the MD generated from MAML for a Cmdlet, the example help displays special characters instead of whitespace, which then carries through into the console help. The output MAML has the special characters, but the source MAML and the generated Markdown did not.

In Markdown

Example 6: Grant permissions to a security group

PS C:\>Get-AzureRmADGroup
DisplayName                    Type                           ObjectId
-----------                    ----                           --------
group1                                                        96a0daa6-9841-4a9c-bdeb-e7062276c688
group2                                                        b8a401eb-63ad-4a30-b0e1-a7461969fe54
group3                                                        da07a6be-2c1e-4e42-934d-ceb57cf652b4 

PS C:\>Set-AzureRmKeyVaultAccessPolicy -VaultName 'myownvault' -ObjectId (Get-AzureRmADGroup -SearchString 'group2')[0].Id -PermissionsToKeys All -PermissionsToSecrets All

That's encoding issue. We should probably add some normalization in markdownV2renderer

[jongeller]

Adding normalization into the renderer. When MAML is parsed in to MD and when MD is written to MAML, a function will be called that checks for bad characters and replaces them.

[jongeller]

@sankethka - solved. @vors can we chat and review before I commit. I'd like you to check the implementation.

I left comment on the #116 , other then that, lgtm

[jongeller]

Submitted the fix for this, merged into master. #116

I doubt that source MAML doesn't have special characters... it has to originate from somewhere
