Community Directory: Smart Punctuation on Rendering - Obsidian Plugin
A lot of Markdown parsers (including CommonMark’s reference implementation, mdBook that uses pulldown-cmark, etc. and this forum!) have smart punctuation on rendering, i.e. the -- source will be rendered as an en dash.
Unfortunately, it is not available in Obsidian. So I made it.
Code:

Although this plugin is not smart enough to pass all the test cases from CommonMark’s reference implementation, I think it’s adequate for the most use cases.
Personally I use Smart Typography for quotes and my plugin for dashes, because I use monospace font in editing view and dash characters are hard to distinguish each other.
