Here is how I fix Em dashes :

First in the calibre editor create a function name it Em dashes

def replace(match, number, file_name, metadata, dictionaries, data, functions, *args, **kwargs):
    return match.group().replace(' – ', '—').replace(' –', '—').replace('– ', '—').replace('--', '—').replace(' - ', '—').replace(' —', '—').replace(' — ', '—').replace('— ', '—')

This is the search that I use:

<body.*?>.*?</body>

be sure to save it.

This change a - a to a—a and will remove all spaces before and after em dashes.

I didn't know we could make functions, so thank you! But this didn't accomplish anything, unfortunately, because the spaces are not in the file. (I think I wasn't clear enough about this in the original post, sorry for the confusion! I really appreciate learning about the functions, though!)
