Hi Joe. Here's the code:

em dash: &#151;
en dash: &#150;

The em dash always seemed too wide to me, so I use the
en dash more often. YMMV.

Here's two good pages loaded with special characters:

http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~ramsch/iso8859-1.html -
not 100% complete (no dashes) but fairly user-friendly

http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html - very thorough...
just scroll down a bit to get to the special character
list

Hope this helps,
-Alex
