      Including this very platform.

      Lemmy will automatically render a double dash – as an en dash, and a triple dash — as an em dash.

      I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I’m a nerd.

          Some of this may depend on your client. If you do a triple dash by itself on its own line:


          You get a horizontal rule in most clients, including the default web UI and all of the major browser based clients I’ve tried.

          You only get a horizontal line when you have the three dashes sit alone on a line


          But when you use it inline—then it should render as an emdash or–an endash

            I’m not seeing it in Voyager, but I’m guessing you made a header:

            Main header
            ===========
            
            Level 2 header
            --------------
            

            The number of dashes or equality signs doesn’t have to match, so I think that’s what you did.
