I'm a user from the USA. My interests include computers (especially Macs), web design and standards (especially HTML, CSS, and PHP), and factual writing. You can find me editing random articles for small mistakes and reworking larger elements.

[edit] Note to self

The following are some notes I've made for my own reference, mostly regarding Wikipedia style and markup.

Type Usage How to include in wiki Rendering Notes
The hyphen-minus Create hyphens and minuses The hyphen-minus key -
The minus A minus or negative sign &minus; or &#8722;
The En dash A range of dates, etc. &ndash; May or may not have surrounding spaces
The Em dash Abrupt change in thought or where a comma is too weak and a period too strong &mdash; May or may not have spaces

Notes: Use &nbsp; to prevent a dash from showing up at the begining of the next line.
