Description

Image

It's not clear why different delimiters are being used and what they mean, like an em-dash, a - (or is it a single bullet?) or the double-bullets ••.
In general the best practice is to use em-dashes in all these cases.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the text shown in the attached image and locate the places using em-dashes, hyphens or double bullets. Confirm the intended distinction, then standardize the affected text to em-dashes where appropriate. No file or test is named, so completion means all relevant delimiters are consistent and their purpose is clear.
