Consider a name heading of the form:
$aNapoleon$bI,$cEmperor of the French,$d1769-1821$xFiction
The traditional form of the heading would be punctuation like this:
Napoleon I, Emperor of the French, 1769-1821 -- Fiction
However, without making either code or XSLT a bit smarter, it would end up like this, which is wrong:
Napoleon -- I -- Emperor of the French -- 1769-1821 -- Fiction
Some examples of this mispunctuation can be found here in the NOBLE catalog:
