https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55292 Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added Status|RESOLVED|REOPENED Resolution|FIXED |--- --- Comment #65 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- On reflection, I am wondering if the root of the problem is given in bug 62923: By default in Writer, when two hyphens (--) are set between two words they are converted into an em dash. This seems somewhat controversial / dubious practice (especially given the change proposed here) and yet the comments in the code from the related commits in that bug indicate: editeng/source/misc/svxacorr.cxx // Replace [A-z0-9]--[A-z0-9] double dash with emDash or enDash // [0-9]--[0-9] double dash always replaced with enDash // Finnish and Hungarian use enDash instead of emDash. source/text/shared/01/06040100.xhp If the hyphens are there between digits or the text has the Hungarian or Finnish language attribute, then two hyphens in the sequence A--B are replaced by an en-dash instead of an em-dash.commenti71908/comment Why? I would say many more countries than just Finland and Hungary are affected by this. As I pointed out in comment 49: Some publishers, universities, and wikis use -- for em-dash, but there is a specific reason why. Here are a couple of prominent examples: APA 6th Ed., §4.13 Hyphenation: If an em dash is not available on your keyboard, use two hyphens with no space before or after. [...] if the en dash is not available on your keyboard, [use] a single hyphen. Chicago Manual of Style 16th Ed., §2.13 Dashes: For an em dash [...] type two hyphens (leave no space on either side). [...] authors can generally avoid the en dash and use hyphens instead. In other words, those guides that do indicate this practice tend to use a SINGLE hyphen for en dash. We therefore have either: a--b = em dash a-b = en dash ...or: a---b = em dash a--b = en dash In both cases, there are distinct differences and there is NEVER a suggestion of using a--b to imply BOTH em dash and en dash, which is what we seem to have at present. It is better to have completely different patterns for replacement of different characters. I would also like to mention that these types of wildcard replacement entries should be at user discretion i.e., not included by default as this makes it easier for locale-specific customisations to be made as necessary. Given what I am seeing and the questions I have posed in this comment I am setting the status to REOPENED. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

See comment 37 I did not, because I generally perform a user profile reset prior to testing, and forgot to unset this option. I also noticed that the After edit [en-AU] entry for ---b. is erroneous in the last test sheet (I entered ---b. by mistake). Unfortunately, that appears to be the good news. I have performed another full test, using the steps indicated in comment 62, this time with both Replace Dashes options OFF and while the results are different, they are no less problematic. Refer attached. If that where not enough, I am still getting rather unpredictable results using the build indicated in comment 62. Even going back and trying to re-test some of the results from that comment (i.e., with the Replace Dashes options ON) does not produce a repeatable result. There is something horribly flaky with the entire AutoCorrect facility (at least in the v4.4 builds) or this particular change IMO. I use the US International keyboard layout with dead keys (i.e., + e = ë). Perhaps this is related? I will try re-testing later with a basic US layout to see if it makes any difference. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I re-tested using the provided AC lists. They are the same as the one's I had already created, but it never hurts to re-test. I must say though, that I am becoming more disheartened by this change as the results are now even more dubious. The ENTER entries seem to be where the problem lies, but this varies according to whether the [All] AC list or the locale-specific AC list ([en-AU] in my case) is subsequently edited. This is what I did: 1. Replaced AC lists with provided lists. 2. Open LO to check lists are as-expected. 3. Open test file (attachment 105180). 4. Delete columns of pre-existing entries. 5. Enter second column of entries (On open). 6. Save file. 7. Edit [en-AU] list to create new entry (x-y). 8. Enter third column of entries (After edit [en-AU]). 9. Save file. 10. Edit [en-AU] list to remove previous new entry (x-y). 11. Close file. 12. Re-open test file (attachment 105180). 13. Edit [All] list to create new entry (x-y). 14. Enter fourth column of entries (After edit [All]). 15. Save file. 16. Edit [All] list to remove previous new entry (x-y). 17. Highlight errors using Error paragraph style. 18. Save / exit.

Hmm.

It appears to (again) be influenced by whether the AutoCorrect entries are edited during the session (or not) e.g., a---E to 3 hyphens NOT OK a---. to 3 hyphens NOT OK[1] “a---E to 3 hyphens NOT OK “a---.to 3 hyphens NOT OK[1] --bEto 2 hyphens NOT OK --b. to 2 hyphens NOT OK --b”E to 2 hyphens NOT OK --b”. to 2 hyphens NOT OK a--b. to em-dash NOT OK[1] “a--b.to em-dash NOT OK[1] a---b.to 3 hyphens NOT OK[1] “a---b. to 3 hyphens NOT OK[1] Usually a trailing full stop is a trigger for dash conversion, but it is more variable with this combination. [1] After editing the [All] AutoCorrect list (e.g., to add new x - y entry) these tests work, and this previously working test fails: ---b. to 3 hyphens NOT OK There appears to still be something really strange going on with the replacement engine and the en-dash + em-dash entries.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55292 --- Comment #55 from tommy27 ba...@quipo.it --- Hi guys, I have some more thoughts about this and I think the final solution is to avoid the triple hyphen “---” at all as a replacement for em-dash. One reason is the known conflicts with the double hyphen “--” for en-dash that forces users to set a considerable amount of additional autocorrect replacements as a workaround to make the “---” work as an em-dash. So IMHO it's easier and more elegant to have just 2 autocorrect entries, this one .*--.* for en-dash and this one .*-.-.* (or whatever you like) for em-dash rather than dozens and dozens of workaround autocorrections. Moreover there's another possible conflict with the “apply border” option which is triggered again by typing 3 hyphens (or more) followed by Enter at the beginning of a line.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55292 tommy27 ba...@quipo.it changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED Resolution|--- |FIXED --- Comment #54 from tommy27 ba...@quipo.it --- guys maybe I've found a workaround that makes the --- consistently turn into an em-dash avoiding the conflict with the .*--.* en-dash wildcard. you have to make the character that precedes the triple hyphen be part of the wildcard pattern. let's say .*0---.* -- 0— (em-dash) .*1---.* -- 1— .*a---.* -- a— .*b---.* -- b— ... .*z---.* -- z— .* ---.* -- — obviously you have to set multiple replacement for each of the keys that may precede an em-dash (numbers, space, letter, upper and lower case, etc.) so there are 2 choices to make the em-dash work: 1- set a specific key combination for em-dash that doesn't include the double or triple hyphen (i.e. .*-.-.*) 2- keep using the triple hyphen as an em-dash setting multiple replacements with the preceding key workaround the .*--.* wildcard is working fine as a replacement for en-dash and should be kept, and now we have 2 possible working wildcard patterns to make the em-dash do it's job. so I think this can be marked as FIXED again. feel free to reopen if you don't agree the only replacement that doesn't work is --- ENTER which IMHO is a different issue and is probably related to the automatic lines feature in Writes as pointed out by Owen in comment 49: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Drawing_Lines_in_Text#Automatic_lines_in_Writer if you start a new line in a Writer text document by typing three or more hyphen characters and press the Enter key, the characters are removed and the previous paragraph gets a line as a bottom border. I wonder if increasing the line trigger from 3 hyphens to 4 hyphens would solve this one as well.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55292 --- Comment #49 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #48) after many tests is clear that what causes the autocorrect problem is that we have troubles to handle at the same time autocorrect entries with -- and --- this is exactly Bug 67364 - FORMATTING: Autocorrect no longer functions correctly when replacing two hyphens if also an entry with three hyphens exists I initially found this somewhat disheartening but I now think it may lead us to a better solution. There is going to have to be a compromise, as you indicate but I think you did the right thing in closing bug 67364. IMO it is the same issue. anyway I have an idea... why we don't stop fighting with this --- corner case and start using a unique key combination for em-dash? my proposal would be to have: .*--.* for en-dash .*__.* for em-dash I agree we need a different pattern, but use of low line (U+005F) is NOT a good idea because this character is used extensively in basic text forms e.g., Name: __. We do not want these converting to em-dashes. I have tested this and I end up with the first pair of low lines being converted e.g. —_ in similar manner to the 3-hyphen problem. This is where the fun with characters begins. The main argument for -- to en-dash and --- to em-dash comes from TeX and some wiki notation but there really is no consensus about this and I think others need to understand this. Some publishers, universities, and wikis use -- for em-dash. A 2-character pattern is more restrictive. These would seem to be a simple compromise: --- for en-dash === for em-dash ... but they too have problems. The use of both a different character for each and a 3-char AutoCorrect rule for consistency gives greater options in avoiding conflicts with mathematical notation such as == or ++ etc (=== is however used in JavaScript ... boo hiss). Unfortunately these both likely have a potential to conflict with the AutoCorrect for types of horizontal rule: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Drawing_Lines_in_Text#Automatic_lines_in_Writer Another compromise is to use mixed character combinations: -_- for en-dash -+- for em-dash These avoid conflict with the AutoCorrect for types of horizontal rule, but have no precedent in use case. I feel we may need to end up using HTML notation as a compromise: ndash for en-dash mdash for em-dash Not necessarily pretty or as easy (when typing) but the result after autocorrection is the same and there is GOOD precedent for this type of AutoCorrect rule. Like the low line (U+005F) example it also only requires two rules for effective conversion in all use cases. It is also relatively easy to remember. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

It will apply those autocorrect replacements regardless of the language of your document. put that file under the autocorr subfolder of your user profile. exact location may be found here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile moreover as I said in my previous post I've found something weird... the triple hyphen pattern is sometimes correctly replaced in some sessions and not in others. what I've noticed is that once you are in a session where the triple hyphen doesn't work and then you enter the autocorrect options menu and you add a new autocorrect entry or you change some settings, when you are back in the document the triple hyphen pattern start working again as expected and is directly converted in an em-dash. this is a very weird behaviour of the autocorrect engine... any idea about it? anyway apart of these en-em-dash weird cases the middle wildcard pattern (.*sometext.*) works fine in other scenarios I test. for example in italian there's no word with qc but a lot of words with cq and if I set this entry .*qc.* - cq all possible typing mistakes like: aqcua aqcuario aqcuitrino subaqcueo etc. etc. are correctly corrected as: acqua acquario acquitrino subacqueo etc. etc. the same is for triple letter (i.e. ttt) that do not exist in italian where you have only double letters). if I set .*ttt.* - tt there's a bunch of typing errors that are intercepted like: tuttto, tutttavia, atttutire - tutto, tuttavia, attutire so I think that the middle wildcard should be backported to 4.3.1 and 4.2.7 releases the weirdness of the triple hyphen/em-dash corner cases will have to be addressed by another commit. @Lazlo what do you think about it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
