Such ugly writing style where an en dash is not separated from the nearby words by whitespace makes the Info manual less readable. For example, in (info "(emacs) After a Crash"): As a last resort, if you had buffers with content which were not associated with any files, or if the autosave was not recent enough to have recorded important changes, you can use the ‘etc/emacs-buffer.gdb’ script with GDB (the GNU Debugger) to retrieve them from a core dump–provided that a core dump was saved, and that the Emacs executable ============= was not stripped of its debugging symbols. This leaves one to wonder what does this word mean: "dump-provided"? But the dash surrounded by whitespace on both sides makes the text much more readable: As a last resort, if you had buffers with content which were not associated with any files, or if the autosave was not recent enough to have recorded important changes, you can use the ‘etc/emacs-buffer.gdb’ script with GDB (the GNU Debugger) to retrieve them from a core dump – provided that a core dump was saved, and that the Emacs executable was not stripped of its debugging symbols.
