There's more space between the special character elipsis.
I thought it would be a simple fix to have Sigil search for the rouge elipses and replace them with the special character elipses. But when I copy the rogue elipsis out of code view and do a search for them, Sigil doesn't find them. Of course when I try to paste the code into this forum post, the rouge character also doesn't appear, which I guess is why the character doesn't appear in Sigil's book view.
The code looks like this:
<p class="calibre6">"But I would not be able to get another job, with no academic record, no past work history"</p>
In code view, there are three little dots after the word history. The sentences in question aren't broken paragraphs, though. They're supposed to end with an elipsis because the speaker has been interrupted by another person in the book, and his quote follows.
If anyone knows what the elipsis-looking characters are and how to replace them, I'd be most grateful. Thanks! |
What font are you using? It may be missing that glyph.
