A very interesting discussion! At first read, your rules about em dashes and semicolons and i.e. and e.g. all sounded very strident to me, but then your examples support your points well -- the texts evince the rules. To my untrained eye and irreverent hand, anyway. So... roll on, Guile manual, roll on? Hopefully you and Neil will fall into a state of mental synchronization, so that we do productive work on the manual. Though if you get too synchronized we list-readers will lose the benefit of these digressions :) Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
