> I had to type `- -` (dash space dash), and then delete the space in the middle Which itself seems like a bug, if the intended behaviour of adjacent dashes is to turn them into a long dash. There is a similar annoying bug in Confluence (it's some weirdo corporate sort-of-wiki software), where backticks normally result in monospaced text, but if you type a closing backtick and then move to the start of the line and type the opening backtick, it just doesn't work. You get non-monospaced text, with literal backticks in it. To fix it you have to delete both of the backticks, then re-type the opening one, and then re-type the closing one.
