I think this is standard= . But in HTML export, that is an endash. I never use "---" in ASCII. Is there a way to make "--" export as emdash in order to be consistent with ASCII? I wonder if we could control this with a variable. Perhaps with the variable set, \-- can be an endash and -- can be an emdash, or something like that. Thanks.
