Including this very platform.
Lemmy will automatically render a double dash -- as an en dash, and a triple dash
as an em dash.
I usually just type alt + 0151, though, because I'm a nerd.
I just got a line across the page: ---
You only get a horizontal line when you have the three dashes sit alone on a line
But when you use it inline---then it should render as an emdash or--an endash
Doesn't do it for me on Thunder.

You get a horizontal rule in most clients, including the default web UI and all of the major browser based clients I've tried.
Why am I bold? why does markdown do my head in. Its really not that hard.
I'm not seeing it in Voyager, but I'm guessing you made a header:
The number of dashes or equality signs doesn't have to match, so I think that's what you did.

--
"--"
