The new version has em dashes, italics, and the nice quotes/apostrophes. It's not from the Project Gutenberg source as the PG source doesn't have italics.

a hyphen is a very short dash -. An endash is the width of the letter n. An emdash is the width of the letter m.

I believe the consensus was that "..." should always begin immediately after the last character of the preceding word, consist of three "."'s and have a space before the next word. Example: The big headed robot squinted and picked... the blue one next to the fish. |
