Em dash and en dash in Comment?

kakkalla · 06-10-2020, 11:08 PM

Is it possible to create an em dash and en dash with HTML code so that in the "Normal View" of the comments panel, the em dash and en dash appear correctly?

I have tried inserting &emdash; in the text in the HTML Source panel but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance.

There's no such entity as &emdash; you want —

Thank you, I say, as I hang my head in shame. You're a champion. I looked it up on the W3 school site without my reading glasses and could have sworn there was an "e" in there.

Thanks again.

Just use the em-dash and en-dash characters. They work no problem.
