LYNX-DEV Treatment of ­ ?

[Nikhil Nair]

Hi,

I'm often reading material with dashes and hyphens encoded as `­'
instead of `-'.  This worked fine under an old version of Lynx, but I've
upgraded to 2.6 (yes, I know that's old now, but ...), and find that, if
there's a space before and after the dash and it isn't at the end of a
line, it isn't printed - I just get two spaces without a dash in between.
That isn't very helpful when you're using a speech synthesiser!

So, is this a bug in 2.6 which was later fixed, or is there some way of
configuring it so I get the old behaviour?  Although I will upgrade at
some stage, I'd rather configure this for now, if that can be done.

Thanks,

Nikhil.
