GNHQ reporting design fault.

I might have said that before.

Oh yes, I did. Sorry. Mustn't gloat. ?

Please, what is an m dash and and an n dash?

I was wondering that. (as always)

That puzzled me to Auntieflo

This is one of those weird "works on yours but not on mine" things.
The same as dare I mention it, the tool bar, which I still can't use

Perhaps JackieB will come back and kindly explain the n and m dash conundrum?

I also have no idea what ‘n’ and ‘m’ dashes are I only have one dash and that’s where the x is on the keyboard

h underline works on iPad ?

_yes it does_

On mine it’s just the strike through that doesn’t .

It’s those pesky Ens and Ems!

So I think it’s right that our problem is that IPad keyboards only have one multipurpose dash and it’s not taken care of in the back-end code at the moment.

Over to you Cary ?

Thank you Mamissimo for the dash-n-dash-and-m-dash explanation. who'd a thought that there were all these variations.
I thought a dash, was a dash!
The strikethrough used to work, but doesn't now, so as you said, over to the techies now.

crossed out
For some strange reason reason it works if you put just one dash and then go back and do another dash before the first one, not after

But of a faff though.

*bit

And I should have crossed out the second ‘reason’ ??

So like this. Oh wow, it worked. You are a clever one Bathsheba. How did you work that one out?

Clever, Bathsheba! Thanks for the tip.

Now I just have to remember to do it.

--crossed out- oh no it doesn’t ?

I remembered from a while back when I mistakenly did only one dash at the beginning, then went back and added another - just by chance before and not after. Then when I previewed, I noticed it looked --like this— and it got me thinking!

--help—
Let’s see bathsheba

"Oh, this way madness lies". Or at least, total brain numbing confusion.

I am going to let Cari go cross-eyed on her own.

--try again-
So frustrating

BlueBelle you need to do 2 at each end of the word, i.e. do one before the word and one after, then go back and add another dash before the first one and before the one at the end.
