I followed the first course of action (comparing a whole book) which was disappointing. The syntax was poor and the collect was the same.
- straight apostrophes were changed to curly ones
- three points to horizontal ellipsis
- emdash changed to endash
The last one is not really convenient for my use. For dialogues we can use the former or the latter, but I prefer using emdash.
And that's it. So, it appears either to be a very basic tool or a very poor book.
I will now follow DiapDealer advice to get forcefully more information.
