I got the same thing @ 8:36. Copied it down, 'cuz it's fucking funny, and then hit back and tried to read new again. No problem.

Is there some quickedit we don't know about involving typographical em dashes? I thought it might have been my

How about an em-dash quick edit so that
m text here
would insert — text here?

ita wouldn't like it. it would force spaces, wouldn't it?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Now I want a quick-edit em-dash. Though it would insert spaces. Hmm.
Now why is it that quick-edit has to insert spaces? I sometimes use t i or t t just because the quick-edits don't allow me to emphasize things within words like the t in ita. And that can be important! t quite cowed

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Quick edit inserts spaces because
hard returns (which end every quick edit) insert a space.
Mostly it's how WX worked, and I'm in no coding space right now to see all the ramifications.

'Cause you use a hard return, which gets read as a space in the HTML. It's possible that someone smarter than I knows a programming sort of way around that, but even the knowledge of its possibility is nothing at all in my level of HTML-understanding.
