Update -- I was going to show how it renders, but I can't find out which tags this forum uses to allow HTML. |
When I need to use an emdash in the text of a message here, I use "& #8212" (without the quotes and without space after the &). The forum software will then automatically convert it to an emdash character, like this:
Code:
<p>This is a paragraph that needs& #8212;just for a while& #8212;an em dash</p>
becomes
Code:
<p>This is a paragraph that needs—just for a while—an em dash</p>
This will work for other html codes like endash (& #8211 = –), bullet (& #8226; = •), etc. See the
special characters wiki for the other codes.
