/ Michael Wiedmann <mw@miwie.in-berlin.de> was heard to say:
| Is there a way to markup the different "hyphen characters" like the
| ones we are used to in LaTeX (-, --, ---)?

&ndash; and &mdash; for -- and ---, respectively. There's probably
a &hyphen; or some such as well, but "-" works for that :-)
