AI overview

The dash is a punctuation mark that appears as a long horizontal line, similar to a hyphen but longer and sometimes positioned higher on the line. It comes in several versions—the en dash, em dash, and horizontal bar—each varying in length, and these different dashes serve distinct purposes in writing and typography.

Le tiret est un signe de ponctuation. Il ne doit pas être confondu avec le trait d’union ni avec le signe moins. Il existe trois types de tirets, selon leur longueur : le tiret long (‹ — ›), le tiret moyen (‹ – ›) et le tiret court (‹ - ›), ainsi que le double tiret.
