That's right except that a speaker can cut himself off and continue in the same
paragraph. In that case there should be a space after the m-dash.

No spaces before or after except that sometimes a sentence ends in an M dash.
That most often happens when a speaker is cut off and the sentence is
unfinished.

I'm confused again. I thought in a very recent discussion we were told that
em dashes, like ellipses. should have no space before but should have one
space after-- is thar correct? I'm working n a new book and was about to
change the em dashes when I went to my book share notes and saw they said no
spaces before or after. PLease refresh my memory as to both ellipses and em
dashes
