Description: In latex, three dashes in a row (---) produces one long dash. In HTML, the same symbol is represented by — (—). I'm requesting a syntax/transformation that converts three dashs to '—'. I imagine this would be low risk (I haven't seen the syntax used anywhere).
Also, two dashes (--) in latex produces a slightly shorter dash. In HTML, the same entity is represented by – (–). It would be good if this could be added too, although I'm not sure if it would break anything.
Thanks.
perhaps a recipe if no core implementation?
This probably needs to be a Cookbook recipe.

See Cookbook:Markup Extensions which provides markupup for en dash and em dash.
