The `makeinfo' program converts three dashes or hyphens to two and two dashes or hyphens to one. TeX converts three hyphens to a long dash. The convention in the Emacs manual is to use three dashes, not two dashes, in the Oxford style (I prefer the Cambridge style with three dashes, but that is irrelevant). However, emacs/doc/emacs/files.texi has both three and two dashes. For example, convention it uses to separate lines---newline (used on GNU/Linux and in emacs/doc/emacs/files.texi in @subsubsection Concepts of Version Control changeset-based ones--the Subversion support, for example, used to break single point of failure--if the repository server is down all work and other double dashes, should be changeset-based ones---the Subversion support, for example, used to break single point of failure---if the repository server is down all work I stopped there.
