The first "inconsistency" is mispelled in the commit message. |

Our documentation uses em dashes inconsistently. They are treated inconsistently typographically too. (For example, they are sometimes surrounded by spaces and sometimes not.) They are also often confused with ordinary hyphens such as in the CHANGELOG, where they are inadvertently mixed together in a single list. The difference is not obvious in the raw markdown but is very noticeable when rendered, appearing to be a typographical error (which it in fact is). The em dash is never needed. There are always alternatives. Remove em dashes entirely.

Argh, I should have split the CHANGELOG and doc-tool change into its own commit. Thanks, @richardlau and @puzpuzpuz. |
