Did running ADE under Wine not work for you?

Indeed :-/.

Yah, it appears to consider before and after any em dash fair game for a break, even places where breaks would be inappropriate in English as well. I tried solving this by using the Unicode "Word Joiner" character, but ADE doesn't recognize it. Much less ideally, but actually working across multiple renderers, I wrapped non-breaking bits in <span/>s with "white-space: nowrap" set. Thus CSS:

Code:
.nobreak {
  white-space: nowrap;
}
And markup:

Code:
<p><span class="nobreak">—These</span> em dashes are like <span class="nobreak">parentheses!—</span></p>
