    Well, did it work?

    Not. You put one long hyphen instead two short. It's known disservice of Telegramm applications. You should hit backspace onece end you got the
    two short hyphen or type "- -" and then delte space. :(

    I'm already pondering how to get around this without losing the
    appearance of messages. For example, at first I used "%%%" for this and
    it looked horrible.


    If TgM changes the "--" to an em dash, why not try something
    else like // or \\ or .. or == or that won't change to
    anything else, *and* that doesn't require a shift-key.

    The %%% not only looks too busy, it requires a shift-key, at
    least on a US-keyboard it does.

    I'm thinking about "==" or jast leaving as is. ;)

    Firstly it's ugly.

    Have nice nights.

    *If* you are undecided, I vote for // or \\ or .. since they
    wouldn't require a BkSp or Ctl-Z <g>

    They are nice and close around the Enter key.

    The -- is w-a-y up far away and high on the top row on my
    laptop. But even accessing any symbols would be different from
    device to device.
