Hi.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
LibreOffice 24.2..4.2 (X86_64)
I want a rhythmic cadence in a sentence. It's a sex scene so you can see
where the rhythmic part comes in. My problem is how to indicate this in
dialogue of a sort. There is a bunch of punctuation that could be used
here, everything from commas to ellipses. Too many commas are likely to
be ignored. Most of the rest seemed too long. I used the em-dash, the
idea being a quick inhale between each word. If there's a better idea
I'd really like to hear it.
Enter Autocorrect. This is supposed to swap out dash-dash for em-dash.
It did but only if I applied it manually. Maybe I missed something about
autocorrect.
The big problem that hit was that when I started replacing with
em-dashes, the next four or five pages lost most their style formatting.
The indents changed, the spacing went from 2 to 1.5. They only things
that stayed the same were font and size. I had to go back and manually
reapply my styles, paragraph, chapter, and section break.
Anyone have any idea what happened here?
Thank you. As always, useful help much appreciated.
