In Spanish literature, instead of using ' ' for the dialogues, we use — (it's a
long minus sign).
As an example:

—¡Amor…!
Su voz sonaba como un concierto de arpas celestiales.
—¡Dime, preciosa! —dije.

Other programs give the chance to use two minus signs (--) that are replaced for
a long one (—), buf OOo doesn't. It can be set "by hand" in the automatic
corrections, but it's not the expected behaviour for an user, because the two --
are replaced by — only if they are followed by a space, which is not right (see
the example below).

Some system should be implemented to allow the option to replace -- for —,
considering that -- can be followed by a word without a space.

I hope I have been clear...

Thanks,

Pablo
