\defineidentifier{dash}{---?}
\definetextualcomponent{en-dash}{display: en-dash}
\definetextualcomponent{em-dash}{display: em-dash} \\

The dash is an \g{entity inline directive}. The \g{resulting textual component} is the \inline$en-dash$ if the \g{identifier} matches two hyphens, and \inline$en-dash$ if it matches three hyphens. If the \g{document} does not have direct support for dashes, a fallback character may be used when appropriate instead. In unicode encoded documents, this should be \unicode{2013} for the en-dash and \unicode{2014} for the em-dash. \\
