This is intentional - it makes it easier to make sure programs written
In the old version:
Em-dash seems to be handled poorly by mdoc. It seems to be necessary
to hard code it. It shouldn't be hard coded as a hyphen.
I seem to remember looking into mdoc's handling of em dashes a month or
two ago, and concluding that mdoc did not handle em dashes at all. That
is, I did not see any macros that attempted to render as a dash of any
type, so that the man page author is required to hard code a dash as
either one or two (or three, I suppose) hyphens.
A scan of the prior art suggested that most existing instances use a
single hyphen, and the double hyphen is quite rare.
Warren did note that it is probably best to write in a style that avoids
the need for the em dash, which I cannot really argue against.
Bruce, do you have any details you can add about mdoc's interaction with
em (or en) dashes?
Thanks,
Ben
