 * I use the code below in my functions to pre-populate new posts.
 * It works fine, except if I use entities (example: »), which are converted (example:»)
   when I open the edit page for a new post.
 * I prefer to keep them unconverted.
 *     ```
           add_filter( 'default_content', 'pu_default_editor_content' );
   
           function pu_default_editor_content( $content ) {
           global $post_type;
           switch( $post_type )
           {
           case 'post':
           $content = 'Default content for blog posts.';
           break;
           }
           return $content;
           }
       ```
