    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.
