US style is em-dash, no spaces—like this.
UK style is a spaced en-dash – like this (except in number ranges: pages 80–81).
Some publishers do use spaced em dashes though, not that common.
I do dashes manually by S&R, as there is often a mix of hyphens and various dashes, spaced or unspaced. And then spend a while fixing ellipses, since I prefer spaced periods.
