Date Range with endash should exclude spaces

Created on 7 July 2025, 7 days ago

Problem/Motivation

We use this module, but we had to remove the spaces around the endash by editing src/ApStyleDateFormatter.php in version 1.9, and I still see the latest version includes these spaces. Everything I read claims there are no spaces when using the endash in a date/time range.

Ranges with the endash should appear as:

July 24, 2025, 3–5 p.m.
July 24–25, 2025

not:

July 24, 2025, 3 – 5 p.m.
July 24 – 25, 2025

Proposed resolution

I included a patch against the latest code from GitHub which demonstrates the fix for this issue, since we have to do this for our production environment.

This must come from a rule other than AP style. In fact, using an ndash is not even part of the AP style standard, but I believe that it was included at user request as an option. Can you provide any sources on why spaces should not be included?
