Re: [TCLCORE] — in changes file

In Markdown, you typically use two dashes '--' for the ndash and three '---' for the mdash. But ... it depends on the Markdown rendering engine whether they support this syntax. Pandoc does. And you can of course, as Jan said, just use the correct utf-8 character if your engine supports unicode.

(you can find out which implementation supports by trying here: https://babelmark.github.io <https://babelmark.github.io/>)
