Can I "fix" the mapping of -- to en dash with "Watched Words" (or in some other way)?

Hmm, we can’t simply change the rule, because the preferred usage of en dash and em dash seems to be different depending on your language and country. In German we definitely want en dash when we write -- and I think it might be the same in French and British English, at least that’s my impression after skimming Dash - Wikipedia .

Per-language might be interesting – although I’d settle for a way to change it. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-replacements)
