I use RW 6.3.4 and Stack last version.  
I dont’t know why since a couple of days, when I write html code, RW (or Stacks ?) replace short – by a large one.  
Ex.  
\<-- Comment --\> become automatically  
\<!— Comment —\>  
The autocorrection is disabled in Mac OS prefs.

So, can you explain this new issue ?  
Thanks for you help 😄  
PS. I removed the ! in \<-- comment --\> to maintain it visible…
