| Sep 9, 2015 at 7:58 | comment | added | Paul Draper | You can't tell. So don't substitute characters. If the author uses a hyphen, show a hyphen. If the author uses an em dash, show an em dash. If the author uses a ☂, show a ☂. | |

You force the user to type How do I "accept" an answer -- where do I click?, with an extra space, as suggested here

| Jan 7, 2012 at 23:18 | comment | added | Camilo Martin | Markdown in titles too processor-intensive? We just need a backtick in the titles to delimit code - it's trivial to implement! And I'm sure it's not processor intensive, it can't be. | |

| Feb 7, 2011 at 18:31 | comment | added | jcolebrand | Or give us another delimiter to use in titles besides backtick? | |
| Oct 29, 2010 at 7:23 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph |
trivial: there is no difference. Let the users be explicit: only filter out backtick-delimited sections. This should be straightforward (and is already done for $…$ on other SE sites).

So you are going to leave the functionality that converts -- to —?
