An em dash is done with a triple hyphen in some programs like Microsoft Word, IIRC, and a double hyphen is an en dash.

But I am lazy and don't want to smack hyphen three times, so I tend to use double hyphen for em dash, which I use a lot more than en dash, and just use a single hyphen for en dash. People get the meaning.
