Nice! Do you ever use two hyphens together in the place of an em dash?
On macos I know how to insert them using opt+hyphen (endash) and shift+opt+hyphen (emdash). I need to figure out how to get that on linux. Thankfully I think obsidian renders – and — as en dash and em dash so I use them in my notes, and typst does as well.
If I can’t easily do it I’ll usually use – in place of an emdash and I’ll just use a hyphen for where I’d use an endash.
I also just know the html code by heart so in placesi can use html like in markdown I’ll just use
–and—(yeah… they remove the leading e to make it shorter haha)thank you. This is really useful information :)
