In written spanish dialog, em dash is used somewhat like quotes in english and there are some times where it is followed by a period, for example: —. or possibly —,
Here is a quick example:

—Se habrá perdido —respondió Billy—. Vamos.

In Moon+ Reader Pro, if the length of the line is just right the text sometimes wraps to a new line after the em dash and before the period, as follows:

—Se habrá perdido —respondió Billy—
. Vamos.

Obviously, this looks really strange and I have never seen it happen on my Kindle Voyage, the Calibre book reader or the Calibre server web browser reader. Also, as far as I can tell, there is no accepted HTML/CSS code (except possibly for one inconvenient depreciated <nobr> tag), but I'm no expert.

Does anyone know of a way the keep these punctuation characters together? Is there any setting buried somewhere in Moon+ Reader for this?

Thanks for your help.
