  Well, that’s the reason why I didn’t write it like that. I wanted it to look like a dash, just like in novels.

    By the way, Markdown also takes escape \, which is why sometimes the shrugging emoticon is missing left arm.

    - So this
    - also works with space

    So you don’t even necessarily have to leave out the space.

      Apparently there is already a separate symbol for speech dash, which is —. However its keyboard shortcut is obscure and I couldn’t remember it later, but Markdown already covered this it seems. Writing — renders as —, which I’ll do from now on, if I don’t forget about it next time.

    So breaking accessibility for the heck of it? How forward-thinking.

      How is it breaking accessibility?

        Good question: for basic accessibility, structure should be conveyed, which adds

        when technologies support programmatic relationships, it is strongly encouraged that information and relationships be programmatically determined

        The web supports programmatic relationships through correct markup, so the technique using semantic elements to mark up structure applies, specifically by using ol, ul and dl for lists or groups of links or the markdown equivalent.

        If you want to experience this yourself, then put on a blindfold, use a screenreader & compare your “list” to mine.
