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?
