en dash – in lieu of hyphen - in HTML titles of pages

See original GitHub issue

Noted with thanks:

Enhancement request

As a subtle improvement, please consider using an en dash

– in lieu of the hyphen.


U+2013 Name: EN DASH General Character Properties Block: General Punctuation Unicode category: Punctuation, Dash Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xE2 0x80 0x93 UTF-16: 0x2013 C octal escaped UTF-8: \342\200\223 XML decimal entity: –


Guys and gals from the States might prefer an em dash but I have a British <strike>stiff </strike>wobbly upper lip pweference for the en dash in this situation. Tomato, tomato, potato, potato, let’s call the whole thing off, rabbits, wabbits etc., https://english.stackexchange.com/a/2126/11504 and thereabouts.

Ooooh 😃 Still, seems like when I checked the issue, yesterday, there was no dash in -dev…was a hyphen everywhere.

Things changed today and I can see a dash in dev, also. Postfix screenshots: 2017-11-07_1447
