Hi Pierig, If you're saying you want every line of the first paragraph of a dialog between two people to start with a hyphen or dash, I don't think that's possible in LaTeX or CSS or pretty much anything. So, are you really looking for the following?: - Steve said, "My skateboard went down a sewer, so I fished it out with a rope - and coathanger. It took an hour, but it was better than climbing into the - sewer, because there was a dead, rotting aligator down there and about a - thousand rats feasting on it." "Pretty gross, replied Pierig. When my skateboard fell down the sewer, I just took off the sewer cap and retrieved it. It only took me ten minutes. But there was no wildlife in the sewer." With a far off look in his eye, Steve said, "I remember the good old days when sewers didn't have rotting carcasses in them. Those were the days, when you could get your skateboard just by climbing in!" Is the preceding what you meant, because if it is, I can't think of one piece of software that will do the preceding for you. If the preceding is *not* what you meant, please give us a sample so we're all on the same page. By the way, my mail client gives me very little control over indentation, so please ignore the indentation and concentrate on where the dash/hyphens go.
