[oXygen-user] Easy insertion of en/em-dash

I use the standard keyboard shortcut of Alt+0151, but I'd love to see en-dashes and em-dashes added to the Entities tab.

I also tried added them in the code templates, and while it does work, it gives them the appearance of being actual elements, rather than character entities.

Thanks,
DC

Hi,



good text content should properly use en-dash and em-dash characters.

Easy way to type them would be similar to how auto-correction work in some editors:



Typed characters => output



-      => -

--     => ? (en-dash)

---    => ? (em-dash)

----   => - (cycle back to hyphen and so on)



Has already someone implemented this as a pluging? Or would it be possible to provide this feature directly in oXygen, probably as a part of existing auto-corrections?



If answer is no, I will do it myself, but I thought that I would ask first :-)



TIA,



                                                                Jirka
