Markdown Discuss - Jul 2015 - New Static Site Theme for World (Literature) Classics in Markdown e.g. A Tale of Two Cities, The Trial, etc.

Looks great, but I have a small quibble. Throughout the book, you have 
used an en dash instead of an em dash, as here: ?empty as a 
church?till at last I got?. Might want to do a s/?/?/g & fix 
that.

Cool work, though!

Hello,

  Thanks for your kind words. Good point. I've added a issue ticket [1].

   The dash gets converted by the Markdown processor - in this case
it's kramdown.

   The dash in the source is just plain text e.g.  --    Will see if
the "smarty pants" conversion can get configured in kramdown. Cheers.
