[New-bugs-announce] [issue18529] Use long dash

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Currently Python documentation uses four type of dashes for same meaning:

1. Hyphen with spaces.
2. En-dash with spaces.
3. Em-dash with spaces.
4. Em-dash without spaces.

Definitely the first case is just wrong and other three cases should be unified. Here is a patch which replaces spaced hyphens, en-dashes and em-dashes to em-dashes without spaces.
