Intersentence spacing: Three-per-em spaces are used after periods. These are wider than a single inter-word space. They are narrower than double-spacing. This reflects old-style typography.

Ellipses: 1/6 em spacing between dots and before/after an ellipsis. The spaces . . . should be non-breaking before and within the ellipsis, and breaking after it.

em-dashes: These are bounded by thin spaces — the first of these is non-breaking, to avoid orphaned em-dashes leading a line.

Internumary dashes: en-dashes are used for numerical ranges such as “see pages 17–23.”

Quoting: Old-style (non-logical) quoting to reflect the notional era: periods and other punctuation marks go inside the quote even when they are not part of the quoted material.
