While typing in MS Word, whenever you need to insert the em dash or long dash, press and hold Ctrl+Alt and press - (minus) from the numeric keypad on the top right of the keyboard. This will insert a long dash or em dash in the text.

HTML uses two types of input, One is paraphrase type and one is hexadecimal code type. For using em dash or long dash in your HTML page there are two ways of doing it, one of each type :

Paraphrase type :

—

You can also use

&mdash

without a semicolon but while using this you will have to gave a space after it, to use it without a space a semicolon is required

Hexadecimal code type : Use this codes without space. If i remove space in it, then the code will be automatically converted to the em dash :

& # 8 2 1 2;

In this type to you have to gave a space after the code if you do not use a semicolon.
