LuaTex and em dashes












0















LuaLaTex is not inserting em dashes unless there is space around the triple dash.
It works fine when using a unicode em dash, or explicitly using the textemdash macro.



Here is a MWE:



documentclass{article}

begin{document}

begin{enumerate}
item en--dash
item em---dash
item em --- dash space
end{enumerate}
begin{enumerate}
item en–dash unicode
item em—dash unicode
item em — dash space unicode
end{enumerate}
begin{enumerate}
item entextendash{}dash macro
item emtextemdash{}dash macro
item em textemdash{} dash space macro
end{enumerate}

end{document}


Which produces:



missing em dashes
