--- Comment #55 from tommy27 <[email protected]> ---
Hi guys, I have some more thoughts about this and I think the final solution is
to avoid the triple hyphen “---” at all as a replacement for em-dash.

One reason is the known conflicts with the double hyphen “--” for en-dash that
forces users to set a considerable amount of additional autocorrect
replacements as a workaround to make the “---” work as an em-dash.

So IMHO it's easier and more elegant to have just 2 autocorrect entries, this
one .*--.*  for en-dash and this one .*-.-.* (or whatever you like) for em-dash
rather than dozens and dozens of workaround autocorrections.

Moreover there's another possible conflict with the “apply border” option which
is triggered again by typing 3 hyphens (or more) followed by Enter at the
beginning of a line. 

So to avoid any kind conflicts I strongly suggest to use a specific and unique
autocorrection for em-dash like and definitively forget about the “---” as an
autocorrect replacement.
