Question on the transcription symbol

I found a really good page for the transcription symbols we are using.

It has a better explanation of the = symbol. It says that the = symbol "'Equals’ signs mark the immediate ‘latching’ of successive talk, whether of one or more speakers, with no interval". I think that this means if I were to follow up what someone said with no pause then we would use the = to show that there was no pause.
