Dashes

Open adah1972 opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

The usual convention of sentence dashes is either

  • The em dash with no spaces on either side (or using thin spaces): A---B or a custom macro, resulting in something like ‘A—B’
  • The en dash with spaces on both sides: A -- B, resulting in something like ‘A – B’

Currently the book uses A --- B (‘A — B’), which is a bit weird. . . . I personally like em dashes without spaces, which is also the convention followed by most US presses and some famous UK presses (like Oxford University Press).
