#52270

A previous version of this forum translated straight quotes into curly ones, which is fine & dandy for plain text, making it more typographically sound, but it wreaked havoc with scripts.

Now there is a new 'beautifying' daemon at work which I haven't met before: space dash space is automatically translated into en-dashes. Also much nicer on the eye, but .. also killing the option to post a script in-line and have it copied and pasted straight into the ESTK.

** (David, can you ask Pariah to add a “Pre” formatting button in the toolbar? Pretty please?) **

So the good news is, you did everything correct, copying, saving, and testing. Open the script in the ESTK and edit the file, changing dashes into regular hyphens; save it and it should work. There should be five instances of space dash space to change; if ln. 10 is the first one, the others are on ln. 13, 14 (twice), and 15.
