The following are some notes I've made for my own reference, mostly regarding Wikipedia style and markup.
Type | Usage | How to include in wiki | Rendering | Notes |
---|
The hyphen-minus | Create hyphens and minuses | The hyphen-minus key | - | |
The minus | A minus or negative sign | − or − | − | |
The En dash | A range of dates, etc. | – | – | May or may not have surrounding spaces |
The Em dash | Abrupt change in thought or where a comma is too weak and a period too strong | — | — | May or may not have spaces |
Notes: Use to prevent a dash from showing up at the begining of the next line.
