Bug ID: 94911
Summary: em dash does not form after closing parenthesis
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Normally, the insertion of two regular dashes "--", (HTML --) when the
previous character is part of a regular word will result in the two regular
dashes automatically being converted to an "em" dash--the long dash used in
English to set off long tangential components of the sentence, such as this
one--after another word and a space is inserted. If, however, the previous
character is a closing parenthesis, the em-dash is not formed.
In other words, typing
asdf--asdf<space>
will cause the two dashes to become an em dash, but typing
some stuff (I guess)--asdf<space>
will not trigger the conversion.
This is a bug and Microsoft Word has correctly converted the dash in the latter
situation for some time now.
Thank you for your attention, please let me know if more detail is required.
