Question regarding the us of 3 minus sign in the text

[rgaiacs]

There are some --- used in the text at some places and, I believe, that should represent a —. Is that correct?

Yes. This is the behavior of kramdown that we previously use

$ kramdown <<EOF
foo --- bar
EOF
<p>foo — bar</p>

If so, should we use some "Markdown flavor/plugin" to take care of that?

We just need to enable it on Pandoc:

$ pandoc <<EOF
foo --- bar
EOF
<p>foo --- bar</p>
$ pandoc -S <<EOF
foo --- bar
EOF
<p>foo — bar</p>
$ pandoc -S --ascii <<EOF
foo --- bar
EOF
<p>foo &#8212; bar</p>

Or should we fix it using the HTML syntax (—)?

I just enable it on the template, check swcarpentry/DEPRECATED-lesson-template@3ae50df.

Now the question is: How to keep the lessons in sync with the template?

Either the lesson maintainers can pull, or @gvwilson can push. See
discussion in #92.

We don't plan to change the template very often.
Last weekend a send a few pull requests just change minor things.
After some pull request be merged we notify lessons maintainers to update the files from the template.

We'll plan to update before the next html generation.
