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

and it still fucked me up. Albeit differently. As mentioned in the post.

But I HAD that blockquote! It ate it. I swear.

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.

That's a good reason. I don't like the baggage on hard returns, though. I had a huge debugging problem once trying to print text into Notepad with C++ because you have to use \\l, \\n, or something weird instead of just the linebreak.

ita wouldn't like it. it would force spaces, wouldn't it?
So what if it forces spaces? Why is it bad for an em-dash to have a space on either side?
