Template:Em dash
—
This is the mdash template, it looks like this "—".
It works similarly to the html markup sequence "—". That is, a long dash (known as an em dash).
{{—}} and {{emdash}} redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template.
Normal usage[change source]
The recommended usage is to use no space before or after the template, like this:
Spices{{mdash}}like [[Black pepper|Pepper]]{{mdash}}are added to food.
Which looks like this:
Spices—like Pepper—are added to food.
