#### WHAT IS THE BUG

Ever since macOS Version: 0.30.0 I can’t create a line divider by using markdown and typing 3 dashes: —  
It always worked before.

#### HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

Create a Page  
Type some Text on the canvas  
Type three dashes (—) in the next line  
The three dashes appear but do not tronsform into a line divider.

#### THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Typing three dashes should transform into a line divider like it did before Version 0.30.0

#### SYSTEM INFORMATION

- **OS:**  
macOS Ventura 13.1
- **Device:**  
MacBook Pro - Retina 15" End 2013
- **Anytype Version:**  
0.30.0

I can confirm this.  
Three dashes (—) now converts to a long dash (—) followed by a normal dash (-).

I’m using MacOS Big Sur, Anytype 0.30.0.

Reproduced also on Linux and Windows (v0.30.0). 2 dashes are immediately converted to long dash, making it impossible to type 3 of them and have a line divider.

In previous version, if I remember correctly, 2 dashes were converted to long dash only when followed by a space.
