But double hyphen is emulating endash, not emdash. So surrounding spaces are ok.

- yamazakiwi 4y agoThat would be 2 endashes, not an emulation of an endash, so surrounding spaces are not ok. Although, I've always sucked at English so I'm open to being wrong.
- codetrotter 4y agoNot sure I understand what you mean. The parent comment to you said “writing -- but”. The “-” used there is different from the endash; “–”. And so I posit that “--” (double hyphen) is emulating “–” (endash).
