Spaces around em-dash.

| Apr 18, 2017 at 14:03 | comment | added | Stu W | An en-dash is used in replacing the word "to." I work nine to five; the score was three to two; and so forth | |

| Apr 17, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | Lew | "Interruption ... is always shown by an em dash." I have seen it shown both ways. @DanielCann There is also en-dash, which is a shorter than em-dash and is used to represent range, e.g. "I work 9–5", but it is uncommon in prose | |

It is also used in some compounded words, such as fther-in-law. An em dash is longer — and indecates things such as an interruption, or break in thought. Note that two or three hyphens may only be used, if the software automatically converts them to a single em dash. | |
