Hi,
Based on suggestions (thank you), I conducted more experiments with
autocorrect and em-dash. I don't know if this is what's supposed to
happen. But this is what did happen.
1. typed a word
2. typed space
3 typed dash dash
4 typed space
5 typed a word
6 typed space
At 6 the previous dash dash was swapped for an em-dash, and this action
was repeatable. The replace did happen but at a word beyond where it had
been expected. Also, did not lose formatting. Upshot, the before and
after blanks seem important signalling tools for the algorithm. I
thought about it. Does make sense. I'm considering this yet another case
of expectations and reality not quite meeting in the middle.
