Webview removes all whitespace before and after HTML entity

I have a NSString (with some HTML entities mixed in) being displayed in an UIWebview. Whenever an entity is displayed in the webview, the surrounding whitespace is stripped.

From source:

"I like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure."

As displayed in webview:

"I like Bill&Ted's Excellent Adventure."

when you show string on screen first you have to trim it. and then show. There is a method of NSString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet to trim in this we pass a character set. Two class methods of this set is already in documentation but you can also create your own set as your requirement.Use whitespaceCharacterSet or whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet to remove whitespace around strings.

NSString *stringAfterRemovingWhiteSpace = [stringBeforeRemovingWhiteSpace stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: [NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
