How to put an "em dash" into the text

Wednesday 15 September 2004 11:21:52 pm

Can you help me how to insert a "long - " sign (em dash, —) into a text area?

I tried the following way: I used -- signs, and in the database dump I replaced all " -- " partsh into — sequences.
It still does not work: I can see only these numbers.

Is it possible to make a "custom tag" or some other "escape" way for this?

Thank you. I use ISO8859-2, so none of the ones in the above list.
I found a not-very-nice solution, using

before it <custom name='emdash'></custom> after it

by butting into emdash.tpl a — sign.

Is it possible to solve it by a more simple way? I think something in content.ini like

TagList[literal]=<pre>;</pre>;htmlspecialchars

Unfortunately this way there are 3 ; signs in this row...

TagList[emdash]=—;;

So it does not work.

I would like to solve it by using a simple

<emdash>

sign in the input text. Any ideas?

Zoltan, that is not possible to do. We do not allow special characters to be inserted into the forum and the characterset here on ez.no is latin1--which does not support em dash.
