--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > En-dash can be expressed by two hyphen, EM by three. I think we do a good > job with converting it. This bug is not about that. Please re-read the title and comment #2. Remember, we are talking about the case of a user who is not indicating "explicitly" what they want using multiple-dashes or other sequences of characters intended for replacement. > And wonder if other languages than English have > different punctuation guides. That's a completely different issue; we currently have a uniform-across-languages behavior and nobody has challenged it, so this objection sounds TBH like a deflection. The question is very simple: What's the better choice for replacing the hyphen in a " - " sequence: Should it be an En-dash or an Em-dash. Since there is no bug suggesting that we should redo this whole logic, this question stands. So, unless we have a good reason to prefer an En-dash - which nobody has presented AFAICT - we should choose an Em-dash. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
