The discussion revolves around preventing hyphenated text from automatically becoming a bullet list in Discourse. Phuong_SuSu shared an example where users start a line with a hyphen, causing it to be formatted as a list. codinghorror suggested using a backslash in front of the dash to prevent this behavior, providing examples of its effect. Additionally, tomtjes shared a link to a relevant meta discussion on dialogue text formatting.
Hello,
My users often use hyphen as a begining of a line from a charactor.
Eg. they wrote :
He said: - Hi, I'm from England. She said: - I'm from Japan.
It’ll automatically become bullet list like this:
He said:
- Hi, I’m from England.
She said- I’m from Japan.
How to prevent this behavior of Discourse?
