<p>CKEditor does a somewhat expected feature if you add a space to the end of an <code><h2></code> tag, it will preserve the space by converting it to <code>&nbsp;</code>. This is true for both Drupal 10.1 and 10.2. </p>
<p>The difference that is problematic for TOC_api is that that whitespace was previously converted to a space character in Drupal 10.1 is now left alone as a <code>&nbsp;</code> in 10.2.</p>
<p>The result <code>toc_api/src/TocBuilder.php:90</code></p>

<p>Options:</p>
<ol>
<li>Strip it out again at the line again</li>
<li>Sort out why the DOM parser has an issue with appending <code>&nbsp;</code> HTML entities
</li></ol>
