Tests
Hyphen
: {{sym|hyphen}}
yields
- ‐
: {{sym|hyphen|tex}}
yields
- \text{-}
En dash
: {{sym|ndash}}
yields
- –
: {{sym|ndash|tex}}
yields
- \text{--}
: {{math|Feller{{dash|n}}Tornier: ''C''{{sub|Feller{{dash|n}}Tornier}}|&}}
yields the text style HTML+CSS
-
Feller–Tornier: CFeller–Tornier
: {{math||tex = \text{Feller--Tornier}: C_{ \text{Feller--Tornier} }|$}},{{nl}}<!-- -->{{math||tex = \text{Feller{{sym|ndash|tex}}Tornier}: C_{ \mathrm{Feller{{sym|ndash|tex}}Tornier} }|$}}
yields the text style LaTeX (ugly: en dash as 2 consecutive hyphens)
- ,
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \textstyle { \text{Feller\text{--}Tornier}: C_{ \mathrm{Feller\text{--}Tornier} } } }
Em dash
: {{sym|mdash}}
yields
- —
: {{sym|mdash|tex}}
yields
- \text{---}
: {{math|If you do use the em dash, use them sparingly{{dash|m}}no more than two in any one sentence.|&}}
yields the text style HTML+CSS
-
If you do use the em dash, use them sparingly—no more than two in any one sentence.
: {{math|\text{If you do use the em dash, use them sparingly---no more than two in any one sentence.}|$}}
yields the text style LaTeX (ugly: em dash as 3 consecutive hyphens)
