    Hello, great plugin, I am in awe!

    I would like to be able to change a tiny bit of the display: I show the start times and (default) display the end times on hover. Is there any chance I could edit the display of the dash for the “until” end time?

    Default: 11:00 – 11:30

    11:00–11:30

    11:00—11:30

    11:00 …?11:30

    I haven’t found a parameter to do so, CSS would not work since it is in HMTL? Any hints greatly appreciated.

    At the moment there’s not any kind of wrapper around the delimiter, so what you’re talking about couldn’t be done with CSS, but it could be done with JavaScript/jQuery. (Ideally I should make it an editable parameter… I’ll look into adding that in a future update.)

    If you were to do it in jQuery it would look something like this:

    jQuery(document).on('r34ics_init_end', function() {
        jQuery('.ics-calendar .end_time').each(function() {
            var text = jQuery(this).text();
            text.replace('–', '…');
            jQuery(this).text(text);
        });
    });

    This should work, but it may not perform very well, especially if you have a lot of events in your calendar. This is something that really should be done on the server side, so we’re back to me adding it as a parameter in the shortcode.

    (Also just a note… the text in the first .replace parameter is supposed to be ampersand code #8211; but the forum converts it to the en dash character.)

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply and the clarification! Since it is mainly a visual/grammatical feature, I might refrain from using jQuery here and patiently wait for the parameter to be implemented some time in the future. Thank you!
