Hmm, that's strange. There was a problem with a typo which caused
en dashes not to be translated back into the entity, but em dashes seem fine, no matter how many there are.
I didn't translate horizontal ellipses because then it becomes a question of where do you stop. Em and en dashes look very similar in the font used for Code View, and soft hyphens (being soft) wouldn't display at all unless they came at a line-break, so those were good candidates for special handling. The … character in Consolas looks sufficiently different to three consecutive periods that it's easy to pick them out, and you can grab the character by copying it from the view.
