What that means IRL is that if an em dash appears at the end of a line, it will be pushed, alone, to the next line. It is not treated as a word if in the form of word--word. That's probably not so bad, but when the em dash signals an interruption, it can flow to the next line, leaving its word behind. The way to avoid this is to use a Word Joiner character between them. However, the Word Joiner is not universally interpreted properly by either Kindle or epub e-readers. Good luck!tonylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317371592063754371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113459088262891680.post-59085752040957738052013-07-08T17:37:42.737-06:002013-07-08T17:37:42.737-06:00My frustration is growing due to one "expert&...
