About Em-dash(—) within the line, the side without space denotes what is being refered to after so— please take note. It was hard work fixing those and I really would appreciate you not messing with it. Don't worry I'll fix your edits later on. No problem. Zero2001 - Talk - 07:09, 29 June 2012 (CDT)
Actually, You're not 100% right. There is no fixed standard for em-dashes. It's just we use it this way here. Please? Zero2001 - Talk - 01:49, 30 June 2012 (CDT)
Here's a guide:
- A —B— C (Like brackets, space before beginning and after ending em-dash)
- —A (In the beginning of the line/paragraph, no spacing)
- A B— C (Between the line/paragraph to show pause or such, spacing after)
- A B C— (At the end of the line/paragraph to show an incomplete sentence or any other reason)
Please use this. Zero2001 - Talk - 01:51, 30 June 2012 (CDT)
There are multiple standards so no one is wrong. Neither you or me. It's just that this is the manner we've been using. Could you conform, please? BTW, I've seen the rest of your edits. And I have to say I'm impressed. You've really done a good job. Keep up the good work. Zero2001 - Talk - 02:36, 30 June 2012 (CDT)
Aozf05, you can format the em dash the way you want, there is no format imposed at Baka-Tsuki, even more for Sword Art Online. (Btw, the most common rule is indeed to put no space before and after an em dash in every situation) Vaelis 06:18, 30 June 2012 (CDT)

Btw, I personally go with A—B—C for em dashes in sentences, A— B for sentences ending with a pause mid-paragraph (looks better than A—. B, personally), and the 2nd and 4th mentioned by Zero.
Ex. "nothing. —I trusted him. The", "nothing—I trusted him—the", "nothing. I trusted him— The" for start, middle and end of a sentence.
For ellipses, I go with spaces after every one if it's at the end or middle of a sentence, spaces before if it's at the start of one.
And Vaelis, I doubt you'll see this, but wouldn't putting no spaces in every situation result in something like "He saw me.—I gasped and turned to run." if it's used after a period in the original (JP) text? Looks really awkward, if you ask me... --Tap 07:46, 4 July 2012 (CDT)
