Em Dash Replace

A simple Obsidian plugin that automatically replaces double dashes ( --) with em dashes (—) as you type.

Features

• Automatically converts -- to — when typing
• Respects code blocks and inline code (won't replace dashes inside code)
• Works on desktop and mobile

Manual Installation

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css (if present) from the latest release
2. Copy them to <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/em-dash-replace/
3. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins

Usage

Simply type -- (space followed by two dashes) and it will automatically be replaced with an em dash (—).

The plugin will not replace dashes inside code blocks or inline code to preserve your code formatting.
