[bksvol-discuss] Re: m dash

Pam,  it is perfectly OK to replace M-dashes with double dashes for your 
own use,  not though for books destined for publication on Bookshare.  The 
long dash is a typographical symbol that should be preserved on Bookshare 
books.

Thanks,

Guido

Never thought of that. I was reading it with my braille lite, and it
just showed the words together, no spaces or dashes. I bet I could
change it so that it was displayed then. What I'm doing for now is
having the m dash in a file with other symbols that I can't replicate
on the keyboard, and replacing them with double dashes.
