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)

$\textstyle {{\text{Feller--Tornier}}:C_{\text{Feller--Tornier}}}$,
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)

$\textstyle {\text{If you do use the em dash, use them sparingly---no more than two in any one sentence.}}$
