Minor formatting issue in online documentation

[ctennis]

I've been reading through the new online docs (thanks a bunch for this!) and I've noticed that lot of words, seemingly randomly, have dashes in them.

For example, on this page (http://www.zeroc.com/doc/latest/manu...arps.17.5.html) notice the word "corre-sponding" in the first sentence.

My hunch is that this is from the PDF formatting when words are broken in line wraps.

Pretty minor detail, but I thought I would share.

Strange... I don't see any dashes

Try this page:

http://zeroc.com/doc/latest/manual/Slice.5.13.html

The third line has this:

::Family::Chil*dren::Child

note: for some reason the dash in the word Children came across as a star on the forums.

I'm afraid I still can't see it. What browser are you using?

However, I noticed a strange placement of the </a> tag in the HTML code. Unfortunately, we have limited control over the generated HTML. The HTML is generated by WebWorks from our FrameMaker documentation.

I'm using Safari on the Mac.

Here's a link to a screenshot I just took:

I just opened up the page in Firefox on the mac and the mysterious dash was NOT there.

Must be a safari issue, then.

Well, there indeed is a strange character in there. I have no idea what it is, and where it is coming from, and why some browsers render it and others don't. We will look into this.

This is caused by a bug in the program we use to generate the online doc. I'm afraid that all we can do is report the bug to the vendor...

Not a problem. It's pretty obvious when the random dash shouldn't be there. Just wanted to make everyone aware.
