En dashes rendered as `--` in output files #46

Closed ehamberg closed 9 years ago

ehamberg commented 9 years ago

I'm currently reading the ePub version of the book, and the en dashes (-- in the markdown source) are rendered as -- in the output, (instead of as –). If your using pandoc to process the markdown source, I guess you want to use the --smart option.

Thanks for the report, I'm discussing with the maintainer of our authoring tool now. We'll either add that option, or I'll replace these with UTF-8 en dashes directly in the markdown.

ehamberg commented 9 years ago

If you do the latter, please also make sure to use proper quotes, apostrophes and ellipses, like --smart does. These are currently rendered as " and ', and ..., respectively, which – while giving the book an old school look – is slightly annoying. :-)

Should be fixed in the latest release (v0.8.0).

Yep. Looks great! :)
