Package: docbook-xsl
Version: 1.73.2.dfsg.1-4
Severity: minor
When converting a DocBook 5.0 document to XHTML or XSL-FO (and probably
other formats), the attribution of an epigraph uses two hyphen-minuses.
This is incorrect.
According to the Chicago Manual of Style:
The source of an epigraph is usually given on a line following the
quotation, sometimes *preceded by a dash*.
(emphasis mine). The stylesheets should use an em dash instead of two
hyphen-minuses. The latter looks very bad in environments that use
proportional-width Unicode fonts.
If you need a sample document, you may use
