Subject: -- in pdf
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2001 19:04:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010720220443.A17320@redhat.com> (raw)

Has anyone else noticed that db2pdf makes -- (double dashes) an emdash in the 
resulting PDF file?

I have tried to solve this by replacing -- with
&dash;&thinsp;&dash; 
&dash;&dash;
&dash;&hairsp;&dash;

but they all end up translating to - - (dash space dash) in HTML.

I need to be able to produce both PDF and HTML.

&ndash;&ndash; seems to make a really small space between the dashing,
but it is not really noticable in PDF or HTML.

Does anybody have a solution to this?

Thanks,
Tammy
