Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates the en dash character, used primarily for to–from ranges. For example, "September 1939–September 1945."

Keyboard shorcuts

Instead of this template:

• Mac users can use keystroke option + - for this character.
• Windows users can use keystroke combination alt + 0150 (on the num keypad).
• Linux users: ctrl + shift + U + 2013.

• To hyphenate words, use a hyphen; this is available on nearly all keyboards.
• For dashes that divide sentence fragments, use an em dash. {{--}} renders an em dash without surrounding hairspaces.
• For longer dash marks typically used to hyphenate names, especially in older novels, use the {{longdash}} template.
• For a variable-length mid-height bar consider {{bar}}.
