- Em-dashes are showing as ?'s in the completed IMP. I tried searching and don't know if this is an issue with IMP or just a glitch in the conversion.
I haven't tackled curly quotes yet, I wanted to get basic formatting down first. Every other formatting issue I've solved either using BC's tools, Notepad++ or Word's own Search and Replace.

PS I also tried an LRF and that came through beautifully... |
Any character that shows up with a '?' in the resulting .imp can usually be "fixed" if converted to a HTML code like
&emdash; for
— . While there are legal HTML codes that don't have a corresponding .imp character, most do or can be represented by similar existing characters. For example;
½ ("
& frac12;") is 'one-half', but can easily be represented by
<small>1/2</small>. Now all this needs your resulting conversion to be in .html form which may or may not be a problem for BC.
pssst: If all else fails, try replacing an
emdash with hex code 0x
D1 (or decimal 209) and see if that works in the .imp ebook! You heard it here first!
