Yeah, we can do, instead: 0x2013 => '--', # EN DASH 0x2014 => '---', # EM DASH I was actually in doubt about those ;-) Btw, when producing HTML documentation, Sphinx should convert: -- into EN DASH and: --- into EM DASH So, the resulting html will be identical. > Or do you fear the extra work as some lines then might break the > 80-character limit then? No, I suspect that the line size won't be an issue. Some care should taken when EN DASH and EM DASH are used inside tables.
