I'm a user from the
USA. My interests include
computers (especially
Macs),
web design and
standards (especially
HTML,
CSS, and
PHP), and factual
writing. You can find me editing
random articles for small mistakes and reworking larger elements.
The following are some notes I've made for my own reference, mostly regarding Wikipedia style and markup.
Type | Usage | How to include in wiki | Rendering | Notes |
---|
The hyphen-minus | Create hyphens and minuses | The hyphen-minus key | - | |
The minus | A minus or negative sign | − or − | − | |
The En dash | A range of dates, etc. | – | – | May or may not have surrounding spaces |
The Em dash | Abrupt change in thought or where a comma is too weak and a period too strong | — | — | May or may not have spaces |
Notes: Use to prevent a dash from showing up at the begining of the next line.
