For some insane reason, I’m writing a novel where dialogue is introduced in the French style:
Where are you going with this?
I don’t know.
I format and save my text as Right Justified because I think it’s more professional in a published text. The problem is, although the formatted text looks ok in the Editor, often when exported to Kindle the justification spreads the words and letters, so that there is an extra space after the introductory hyphen:
Where are you going with this?
I don’t know.
Is there a way of creating a fixed space after the hyphen so that when I find them in the published version (there aren’t that many, in fact) I can enter the fixed space and prevent the problem? I’ve searched the forums and the manual but can’t find a relevant entry.
Nice ideas, thanks. I don’t think the monospace font idea would work because the Kindle, for example, gives you the choice of what font you want to use and I presume in the conversion process to .mobi or .azw3 format it strips out font information so the ebook reader can change it at will.
Using the bullet point system might work, though - I’ll try it out. Thanks.
