En- dash/em-dash
All I need to do is type either double hyphen or triple hyphen to get the appropriate dash. No
need for colons etc. I have never changed any autocorrect settings to achieve this. It is
triggered by the second space, whether immediately after the hyphen or after the next word.
The detail is important:
word1[space][one (or two) hyphen (minus)][space]word2[space]
...the (double) hyphen (minus) is converted into en-dash, whereas:
word1[double hyphen (minus)]word2[space]
...the double hyphen (minus) is converted into em-dash.
Note the difference of space characters.
Using the colon characters, the replacement is performed precisely as
desired, whether there are space characters adjacent to the words or
not.
HTH,
Ady.
