Subject: the dash from "||"
Date: 08 Feb 2000 15:34:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m366vzsaam.fsf@coe.uga.edu> (raw)
I sometimes wonder why the dash produced by "||" is so big:
la-la la--la la$-$la la||la
The last one is pretty dark and long. I like the ability to have
optional breaks, but I'd expect the last one ("la||la") to look like
the first ("la-la"). Sometimes the darker dash looks out of place in
documents.
Is there a grammatical reason for the darker dash, or some other
reason perhaps?
