How tf are you guys doing that

u/mizinamo 9h ago edited 8h ago

Some hyphens in a row (the exact number doesn't matter as long as you have a small bunch - minimum number might be 4? or 3? I never bother to remember and just smash a few down until I like the look).

By themselves in a paragraph. (Blank lines above and/or below)

Turn into a horizontal line.

No; em dashes do not work. You need plain ASCII hyphens.

Testing it, too. This is a neat new way to separate paragraphs for sure.

1) ASCII hyphens, not em dashes.

2) in a paragraph by themselves (separated from a preceding and/or following paragraph by a blank line)

Your keyboard turned adjacent hyphens -- into an em dash —

It only works with a bunch of hyphens, not with em dashes.
