 - Bug in :class:`DataFrame` and :class:`Series` ``repr`` of :py:class:`collections.abc.Mapping`` elements. (:issue:`57915`)
-- Bug in :class:`HTMLFormatter._write_cell` to escape regular spaces as `` `` ensuring multiple spaces are preserved in the HTML output. (:issue:`59876`)
 - Bug in :meth:`.DataFrame.to_json` when ``"index"`` was a value in the :attr:`DataFrame.column` and :attr:`Index.name` was ``None``. Now, this will fail with a ``ValueError`` (:issue:`58925`)
 - Bug in :meth:`DataFrame._repr_html_` pass :func: ``get_option("display.float_format")`` to :class:`DataFrameFormatter`, such that HTML output respects the configured float formatting. (:issue:`59876`)
 - Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.from_records` where ``columns`` parameter with numpy structured array was not reordering and filtering out the columns (:issue:`59717`)
