How to replace multiple "&nbsp;" entry with in <td> tag into single entry using sed?
I have the input file like this.

Input file: 12.txt

1) There are one or more than one <tr> tags in same line.
2) Some tr tags may have one <td> or more tna one <td> tags within it.
3) Few <td> tags having "<td> &nbsp; </td>". Few having more than one "&nbsp;" entry in it.

Code:
<tr> some td tags </tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr>some td tags</tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>

Expected Output file:
I want to remove the multiple "&nbsp;" entry if exists within <td> and want to display only one "&nbsp;" entry like <td> &nbsp; </td> like below.
Code:
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr>some td tags</tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td><td>some text</td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>
<tr> some td tags </tr><tr><td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td></tr><tr>some td tags</tr>

Tried with these some sed commands. Not getting expected output. Please help on this.
Code:
sed -e 's/<td> &nbsp; &nbsp; /<td> &nbsp; /g' 12.txt
sed -e 's/<td> &nbsp; /<td> &nbsp; /g' 12.txt

git-ls-remote

GIT-LS-REMOTE(1)						    Git Manual							  GIT-LS-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

       git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags]  [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
		     [--exit-code] <repository> [<refs>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated commit IDs.

OPTIONS

       -h, --heads, -t, --tags
	   Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively. These options are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored in
	   refs/heads and refs/tags are displayed.

       -u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>
	   Specify the full path of git-upload-pack on the remote host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via SSH and
	   where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the user.

       --exit-code
	   Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate it
	   successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it found any matching refs.

       <repository>
	   Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in the local
	   repository.

       <refs>...
	   When unspecified, all references, after filtering done with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are specified, only
	   references matching the given patterns are displayed.

EXAMPLES

	   $ git ls-remote --tags ./.
