Creating en and em dashes from typewriter hyphens
This script is a stripped down and modified version of Autoquote.py.
Instead of converting typewriter quotes to typographic quotes, here we want to set up a system so that we can type and enter '-' (a single hyphen) when we just want a hyphen, '--' (2 hyphens) when we want an en-dash, and '---' (3 hyphens) when we want an em-dash. If you have something like '----' (4 hyphens) you'll probably end up with an em-dash followed by a hyphen.
There are no dialogs except for the message box at the end.
