--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> ---
Hmm, but when is it a minus vs. a dash? Folks writing text runs as in-line
formulas won't appreciate an U+2014 EM DASH when they really need a U+2212
MINUS, so not converting the <space>-<space> is probably more helpful. No
unexpected conversion, and they have to adjust the U+002d.

IMHO the <space>--<space> conversion to U+2013 EN DASH while keeping the spaces
is probably incorrect. Suggest we should instead be droping the spaces and
convert the run to a single EM DASH? Closing the whitespace gap (catch a
leading but no closing, or closing but no leading, along with the bracketed
spaces).

Folks needing an EM DASH with surrounding white space can use the :---: emoji
syntax?

Otherwise our "no spaces" conversion of two keyboard U+002d HYPHEN-DASH to EM
DASH is appropriate.
