full dashes edited out
-
why does wordpress edit out my full dashes (–) to half dashes (-) when i write them as — and not -?? it’s annoying.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’ve never had that issue. I use full dashes and em dashes all the time from my Mac. If you are on Windows, I don’t know what to tell you since I’ve never done them from Windows.
Are you perhaps pasting from MS Word or another program such as that?

I’ve also not had that issue — on a Mac: — option-shift –
You can use html codes:
‑ {small dash} – – – {en dash} — — — {em dash} ― ― {long dash} -
i’m on a mac. it happens both when i copy and past from MS word and when i use them within WordPress proper. i did manage to copy/paste a full em dash today from MS word, which was a first, so maybe its an old issue thats since been resolved. it’s a wonder why WordPress doesn’t support such a simple function, though.

I use the — on my macs all the time.
Probably more than proper!Forever — is composed of Nows —
‘Tis not a different time —
Except for Infiniteness —
And Latitude of Home —
…Hold down “option” and “shift” as you press ‘ -‘
that is the key next to the +/= key. -
GAK! :-((
my codes for the various dashes in html are a mess! See here:

This procedure works on Macs:
“Hold down “option” and “shift” as you press ‘ -‘
that is the key next to the +/= key.” -
Why when I double space after a period on Notepad, it shows up as only a single space on my blog? You’re suppose to single space after a coma and double space after a period. Now that’s annoying!

Hi psb!
I took a typing class in High School, and worked in a print shop for several years after college. Yes: a single space after a coma and and double space after a period (full stop)). Yes that was the rule. But online the rule has changed: single space after bothe ‘,’ and ‘.’ —odd as it seems…
