Interestingly enough, when I run your sample through Tidy, it replaces the
– with a hyphen-minus (ie: D;).
This appears to be because the "remove bogus markup" option of the "Tidy"
command sends the "-bare" option to the html-tidy program. This option,
according to the html-tidy documentation, "strips out smart quotes and em
dashes, etc." If so, I would suggest to Bare Bones that the "remove bogus
markup" option be renamed to "Use braindead punctuation" ('cos it's removing
"smart" quotes).
So assuming the problem you describe is in fact the en-dash being replaced with
a hyphen, your two options are:
- Use the format command (Markup -> Utilities -> Format…) (to avoid Tidy's
obscure vagaries)
- Un-tick the "remove bogus markup" option when running the "Tidy" command
Hope this helps!
