Hello all, I should like to typeset em dashes surrounded by thin, say 1/4th en, spaces. To prevent a dash from starting a new line, the first space must be un- breakable. The second one must be discardable. Both spaces must be unstretchable. How to do it?
The '\h' describption refers the reader to the '.ss' request for producing a custom discardable space, but does it not also produce a full stop as an un- avoidable side effect? I think one could make any space unstretchable by pre-formatting it using a diversion, and then saving the diversion into a string. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
