Description amire80 2009-01-21 21:08:47 UTC 
Usually if i type something like this: "word - word " that is: a word, space,
minus, space, word, space, then the minus changes into a proper dash. However,
if the last character of the first word is one of the Hebrew niqqud (vowel
points), then the minus remains a minus.

It is true that niqqud is not used much in Hebrew texts, but there's no reason
not to autoformat the minus as a dash after a word with niqqud.

MRU->OS: see second attachment, add a space char at the end -> dash won't
autocorrect into em-dash.
