    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello,<br>
      <br>
      Personally I'm not aware of such a plugin, but I think that one
      can indeed be implemented (and sounds like a nice idea).<br>
      <br>
      As current workarounds, other than the already mentioned code
      templates, I can also think of:<br>
      - the "Insert from Character Map..." dialog. The action is
      available in the Edit menu. You can use it to insert the needed
      "dash" elements. There is also a "Symbols" toolbar that presents
      the recently used characters. So the "dash" characters will be
      just one click away (maybe two).<br>
      - in the Author page (if this editing mode is an option), you can
      define author actions, each one inserting a specific "dash". You
      can associate shortcuts to these actions of add them in the
      toolbar, menu etc. <br>
