You can edit HTML documents in several programs, Word, Open Office, Kompozer and no doubt several others.
Just think of yourself an explorer on the wild frontier of ebooks (grin)!

I remember in a thread in the past involuntarily almost arising a flame war due to the fact that - believing that all these kind of dashes can be confusing - I proposed a small utility able to replace them with the common dash... so be careful when you suggest that it is not so decorative ;-)
I'll work on it, though I still dont understand why calibre acts this way, it's the 1st time it happens (in ~500 books), and I'd believe it would be a customizable option!
thank you
