Spanish Dialogue Dash

Obsidian plugin for Spanish dialogue dashes (raya, —), following correctores.es: guiones largos.

—Me parece que me estás engañando —susurró Víctor—, pero no importa.
—¡Qué buen día hace! —exclamó sonriente Jorge.

While typing

• -Hola at line start → —Hola (- with a space stays a Markdown list)
• -- anywhere → —
• Inside a dialogue line: -dijo → —dijo, Víctor-, → Víctor—,

Command: Fix dialogue dashes in note (or selection)

On every line that starts with -, --, – or —:

• Opening raya attached to the first word: — Hola → —Hola
• Inciso spacing: engañando—dijo Víctor -, pero → engañando —dijo Víctor—, pero
• Period before a speech verb removed: engañando. —dijo → engañando —dijo
• Comma moved after the closing raya: Bueno, —dijo— vamos → Bueno —dijo—, vamos
• No closing raya at paragraph end: —dijo—. → —dijo.

Hyphenated words (ex-novio), numbers (3-4, -5), links, code, frontmatter and code blocks are left alone.

Command Insert raya (—) inserts the dash; give it a hotkey in Settings → Hotkeys.
