em-dash not working consistently for HTML output #81

Closed MartinHeroux closed 8 years ago

MartinHeroux commented 8 years ago

I was preparing a blog post and used the following command to generate the HTML file: doconce format html git_lessons.do.txt

In the text I used two em-dashes (i.e., ---), but only one of them got properly converted to an em-dash; the other (the first in the text below), was represented as three short dashes in HTML.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The syntax is defined such that there can't be whitespace on either side of the em-dash. See http://hplgit.github.io/doconce/doc/pub/manual/manual.html#___sec43

there are no spaces around the em-dash

Thanks for pointing me to the right place, much appreciated.

I guess what confused me was that my second em-dash did have a space to the right of it and it did render correctly.
