Apologies, this is a rant. Please ignore if you are an em dash fan and know that I am not ranting at you, but at its creator.
As someone who has had to deal with comparing text output via automated tests, this thread hurts. I hate Em Dashes and whoever invented them with a burning passion. They make text comparison a nightmare.
“Let’s invent a character that looks exactly like a slightly longer hyphen, but isn’t!” Brilliant. Well done.
Why not just make the hyphen longer instead so people can just type it, like they do with every other character? Nope, instead, let’s invent a different character that can only be typed if you know the Unicode ID.
Even worse is the fact that there are also En Dashes. Because we definitely needed both and couldn’t just type multiple consecutive hyphens to make the line longer…
The worst part is that if you are writing physically, and you’re not a robot, there is no way to distinguish between these at all; they are all just hyphens.
I know there’s a pretty flexible self hosted finance manager called Firefly. Not sure if there’s any functionality built in related to donations specifically though.
Figured I’d at least mention it since I only see one other comment so far, just in case it’s helpful.
