(default: with space)

Dashes (hyphens or en-dashes) may be set according to two traditions:

1) In Danish public service stations subtitles there is always a space after dialog dashes:

- I love you.

- Vice versa.

And before/after continuation dashes:

I'm sure he is a nice man -

- but I still don't like him.

2) Some, however, prefer to drop the space to gain an extra character:

-I love you

-Vice versa.

And:

I'm sure he is a nice man-

-but I still don't like him.

The choice made will be reflected in the Toggle dash and merge/split routines.
