Hi, This revisits issues raised (but not resolved) in a 2003 post: http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/latex2html/2003-August/002400.html
It appears that latex2html is (still) converting em- and en-dashes to -- and - respectively. Since hyphens are also left as -, there is then no way to distinguish (in the HTML) between things that were en-dashes and normal hyphens (so you can't do the conversions to &endash; etc. manually, even if you want to). Also, the main script has do_cmd_texteemdash and do_cmd_textendash routines (to convert to --- and -- respectively), but these don't seem to get used when you explicitly use \textemdash and \textendash commands, which I thought would be a way round this problem (it still does the conversions to -- and -). So it appears that: -- latex2html can't distinguish these dashes properly (I assume that, as for quotes, this is an issue with being able to definitively identify them), although it's distinguishing *something* in doing the conversions to -- and - ! (so maybe this *can* be fixed?) -- there is also no way to "preserve" the dashes from the original in a way which would allow for accurate manual adjustments afterwards. Am I missing something, or is there any advice people can offer?
