What it does
Remove em-dashes and the dashes standing in for them from a user-owned scope, reading each occurrence in context and choosing the punctuation or wording that fits.
Remove em-dashes and the dashes standing in for them from the scope the user names, one occurrence at a time, while leaving hyphens, ranges, and deliberate marks alone.
Goal
Replace each em-dash that should not remain with the mark or wording its clause actually needs. Target any dash doing an em-dash's job, whatever its exact character: U+2014 and its longer or repurposed look-alikes all read the same on the page. The user owns the scope: a passage, field, file, selection, or tree. Do not widen it without asking.
