I haven't noticed anything. Mostly I paste from ChatGPT into Thunderbird
html composer (in Linux).
I have not noticed issues with the long dash. '—-' But here I'm using
fixed width and no html.

Your problem is of your own creation: you use software that doesn't
handle unicode.
I don't have any problem copy pasting stuff from anywhere.

Hi Carlos, I never disagree with a logically sensible statement, and, on the other hand, I often disagree with statements which are illogically phrased. Yours is both. :) On the one hand, you're completely correct that my "software" doesn't handle Unicode well, so that is certainly a creation of my own doing. But, on the other hand, even if the software handled Unicode gracefully, mixing Unicode with ASCII would still make it an inconsistent mess. The normalizer solves both problems. But back to Paul's issue, what he's talking about is real. I was simply confirming that Paul's statements are exactly what I also see.

Why would I mix? I only use unicode.

I only use unicode. Again, I never disagree with a logically defensible sensible statement. If you never copy from a variety of sources, then your editing will likely be consistent in that those sources, if they all use Unicode, will match your punctuation formats (e.g., non-breaking hyphens, curly quotes, etc.). But I happen to edit from as many sources as my data comes from. Some of those sources utilize ascii quotes. Others curly quotes. For consistency, I normalize them to a single set of characters. I choose ASCII since everything is compatible with ASCII. But what do *you* do, when you combine various sources, some of which use one type of punctuation, while the others use a different punctuation type?

I just copy paste.
Tell me two sample links to pages that show both types of text, and I
will try to copy paste in my way.
If you mean that some places use "quotes" while other sites use
“quotes”, I might bother to change to the second type, which is the
modern style recommendation. Possibly LibreOffice might have macros to
do this.
Everything nowdays handles Unicode correctly.

Yup. First you used straight quotes & then curly quotes.
I know it's a test, but my point is that it's inconsistent.
>
> Everything nowdays handles Unicode correctly.
Almost everything.
But the inconsistency will remain if you copy from multiple sources with
different punctuation characters.
I was taught to select a grammatical style and stick to it.
a. For example, I deplore the Oxford comma.
b. And I don't use em dashes when a comma would suffice.
c. And I put my periods (full stops) outside the ending quotes.
etc.
Worse, I don't mix curly punctuation with straight punctuation.
Especially in source code that I write (it confuses programs).

ASCII Table
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort. ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose. Below is the ASCII character table and this includes descriptions of the first 32 non-printing characters. ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure. If someone says they want your CV however in ASCII format, all this means is they want 'plain' text with no formatting such as tabs, bold or underscoring - the raw format that any computer can understand. This is usually so they can easily import the file into their own applications without issues. Notepad.exe creates ASCII text, or in MS Word you can save a file as 'text only'

Right, compilers do not like curly quotes.
But you see, matters of style is a different thing from straight copy paste not working.

We agree where I never disagree with any logically sensible opinion.
a. Almost everything supports Unicode nowadays (I agree)
b. However, compilers & interpreters almost universally do not
c. Yet, for Usenet, almost everything in Usenet supports Unicode
As for "matters of style", yes, each of us has our own style.
Mine, for example, is nearly perfect spelling, grammar & punctuation. :)
You've probably never even noticed my lines are almost always balanced.
(That is something only one in a billion people would do on Usenet.)
In addition, as noted, I deplore the em dash being used for pauses.
And I despise the Oxford comma (since I consider it a waste of space).
Furthermore, I've chosen the British syntax where the period goes outside
the quotation marks unless the punctuation belongs to the quoted material,
such as "in this case". (versus "in this case.")
Note I use the full stop the way the British do.
I don't use the period the way the Americans do.
That's my style choice, and I'm sticking to it.
In a way, I think it's funny that people can't figure out my posts in the
first post, because I've never changed my excellent grammar & preferences.
Anyway, I think we agree that my setup doesn't handle Unicode well, but
even so, my personality is to be nice to the reader, so I feel that mixing
Unicode with ASCII in terms of copypasta edits from deeply detailed
research is inconsistent, and, in the end, disrespectful to the reader
(IMHO).
This all started when Paul mentioned the prevalent use of "em dash" in the
copypasta that people spit out when they blindly output LLM/AI answers. ;)

I only use unicode. Well, the 'bottom part' of UTF-8 *is* ASCII, isn't it, so there would be no 'mixing'. But 'Arlen' is probably implicitly talking about some 'extended ASCII' - i.e. *8*-bit, not 7 - character set"the initial company", which is probably *not* compatible with UTF-8. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Mapping_and_encodings> > > The normalizer solves both problems. > > > > But back to Paul's issue, what he's talking about is real. > > I was simply confirming that Paul's statements are exactly what I also see.

The complaint was about Windows Command Prompt,
not Windows native apps like Notepad or any

The OP was using Notepad++ and Libreoffice, trying to print a text file
produced by WhatsApp, a dump of a chat. Print stopped after printing 2
pages of the 15 total, so maybe it was obeying an EOF somewhere.
Hi finally got the job done by emailing the file to another computer
which succeeded to print.
The problem described by ....winston that I replied to, and to which you
replied, is different, but you deleted that text:
|> With respect to Spanish word spellings.
|>
|> A few years ago, I attended a 2-day cooking class at a local church.
The class was a part of a fundraiser. The class was on making an
Oaxaxcan Mole and taught by a 70 yr old woman. Doña Brisa. The recipe
was available as a txt file on Google Docs.
|> Downloaded, saved it as *.txt and printed. The spacing, line break,
and alignment on the output for a variety of lines and words(some
containing a Virguilla and acento agudo) was varied contrary to the
display in Notepad. Pasting text in to Word, saving as PDF then printing
provided a uniform and expected output. No effort taken to look for
other possible suspect characters that may have caused print issues.

|> The Mole had 34 total ingredients, overnight soak in refrigerator
before next day finishing.

"the initial company" was Booking.com, which was formed in 2000, i.e. *before* Priceline acquired it.

We're clearly on different pages. I was talking about the history of Booking.com, which should be clear from my very first comment: "Booking.com is a Dutch company, so you get what you pay for! :-)" EOD. Better luck next time.
