there is a risk of further information loss in the em-dash conversion
workaround. I wrote an analysis and suggestion on 31 Mar 2017 but waited
with action becaus of missing feedback and because I wanted the "allowbreak"
special char to be present first.
I propose a simple change to the lyx2lyx conversions for now:
User a closed ERT inset for ligature dashes in pre-2.2 documents:
2.1 <-> 2.2
-- <-> ERT --
--- <-> ERT ---
This would require a change to lyx2lyx/lyx_2_2.py (functions
convert/revert_dashes) and lyx2lyx/lyx_2_3.py
(convert/revert_dashligatures).
I may be able to do the changes but I am not sure whether I would manage to
fix the tests.
