= Wiki Syntax for EN and EM Dashes

== Description

This wiki syntax plugin transforms double minus signs (`--`) into an `en` dash ([[html(<tt>&ndash;</tt>)]]) and triple minus signs (`---`) into an `em` dash ([[html(<tt>&mdash;</tt>)]]), like for example in [wikipedia:LaTeX].

As an example:

 - All occurrences of `--` become [[html(&ndash;)]].
 - All occurrences of `---` become [[html(&mdash;)]].
 - Multiple `---------` stay as they are.
