Description
I often find that I write with dashes (not hyphens), so I whipped up a little IWikiSyntaxProvider to support this. I suppose you could have it as a separate component, but I use it often enough that I added it to trac/wiki/formatter.py. Patch attached (against 0.9.4, not sure if that file has changed in more recent versions)

In Trac, which is a developer oriented Wiki, it's quite ofter that you'll see examples of command lines, involving "long" options (e.g. --help). Now if -- gets replaced by an – it will look weird. An — though would look ok (and that's what I do in th:WikiGoodiesPlugin).

I needed en and em dashes as well and coded the th:DashesSyntaxPlugin today, then I was going to open an enhancement request here, but found this ticket :-) Should had searched first and coded later.
IMHO long options should be in ` ` blocks anyway: --help, which would avoid dash substitution.
