You can create an n-dash with a double hyphen – and an m-dash with a triple hyphen ---.
* -- n-dash example
* --- m-dash example --- have fun!That renders as:
- – n-dash example
- — m-dash example — have fun!
... and the underlying HTML is:
<ul><li>– n-dash example </li><li>— m-dash example — have fun!</li></ul>
