Notes

Quotes: „…“ with ‚…‘ inside (Internetová jazyková příručka, ÚJČ AV ČR, the recommended basic form); the guillemets »…« and ›…‹ are allowed by the same page and are not set. One-letter words: the příručka bars a line break after k, s, v, z, o, u, a, i; it names the words, not their capital forms, so the capitals are bound by the same reasoning (not stated, not verified). % and currency: the příručka writes a space between number and symbol (14 %) and bars a line break there; a currency sign other than € (Kč) is bound by the number-unit rule, not by this pack. Sentence dash: the příručka sets a spaced pomlčka (–). Number format: group by three with a space, decimal comma (příručka, ?slovo=procento); carried only, the engine does not read it yet. Not implemented, not verified: the EU Interinstitutional Style Guide could not be read (its pages are scripted and gave no text), so none of its Czech rules were used; no abbreviation list (no list was read). Dialogue: quotes are the main form, but a pomlčka at the start of a line may open direct speech (Internetová jazyková příručka, “Pomlčka” and “Uvozovky”).
