    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.

        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

        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.

          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.
