menu item title dash "-" is not showing, but showing as seperator

[ndvbd]

I'm trying to set a title simply to one dash.
Instead of showing the dash, it shows a seperator.

How do I show an html of dash only?

Here I see mention to _isDivider( item ) that you can override to disable this strange dash-to-divider conversion. But how do I pass it via jquery-ui-contextmenu?

I don‘t have a simple answer , but may be you can pass — or something similar instead of a hyphen

Hi @mar10, I really need to be able to pass hyphen and other kind of strings. Can you kindly see if there's a solution for that, because I still want to use jquery-ui-contextmenu.

Here is an example how you may solve it:

1. patch the library, for example to only recognize four hyphens as separator
2. globally override the jQuery UI Menu _isDivider callback

I am not currently planning a new release though.

Is there a way to to specify that a menu item should be a separator/divider without changing the titles to hyphens? i.e. by specifying some other attribute of the menu item? If that is possible, then we can remove this hyphens-to-divider scheme altogether....
