: See the related template for en dashes, [[Template:En]].

Adds an '''em dash''' ({{em}}) inline without additional whitespace. No arguments are required. Using this template may be preferable because different lengths of dashes appear the same in monospace markup: <code>-</code> (hyphen, -) vs. <code>–</code> (en dash, {{en}}) vs. <code>—</code> (em dash, {{em}}). See the table below for correct usage of each.
