Minor formatting issue in online documentation
I've been reading through the new online docs (thanks a bunch for this!) and I've noticed that lot of words, seemingly randomly, have dashes in them.
For example, on this page (http://www.zeroc.com/doc/latest/manual/Csharps.17.5.html) notice the word "corre-sponding" in the first sentence.
My hunch is that this is from the PDF formatting when words are broken in line wraps.
Pretty minor detail, but I thought I would share.

Strange... I don't see any dashes0

Try this page:
http://zeroc.com/doc/latest/manual/Slice.5.13.html
The third line has this:
::Family::Chil*dren::Child0 -
note: for some reason the dash in the word Children came across as a star on the forums.0

I'm afraid I still can't see it. What browser are you using?
However, I noticed a strange placement of the </a> tag in the HTML code. Unfortunately, we have limited control over the generated HTML. The HTML is generated by WebWorks from our FrameMaker documentation.0 -

I just opened up the page in Firefox on the mac and the mysterious dash was NOT there.
Must be a safari issue, then.0 -
Well, there indeed is a strange character in there. I have no idea what it is, and where it is coming from, and why some browsers render it and others don't. We will look into this.0

This is caused by a bug in the program we use to generate the online doc. I'm afraid that all we can do is report the bug to the vendor...

Not a problem. It's pretty obvious when the random dash shouldn't be there. Just wanted to make everyone aware.0
