### Features

This theme component removes dashes from tag names wherever they’re displayed in the UI.

 ![example of tags with dash visually removed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/2/0/7/207ef94937fbbb4c885daa9cac8ed8bb8717331e.png)

As Discourse replaces spaces in tag names with dashes, this theme component is useful for visually changing back `dash` → `space` in the display.
