Pull request overview
This PR corrects the use of em dashes (—) in command-line options throughout .NET Framework documentation, replacing them with proper hyphens (-). This is essential because command-line tools expect ASCII hyphens, not em dashes, which would cause commands to fail if copy-pasted from the documentation.
Key Changes
- Replaced em dashes with hyphens in command-line options across 23 documentation files
- Removed trailing whitespace in multiple files for better consistency
- Updated metadata date in one file (mpgo-exe-managed-profile-guided-optimization-tool.md)
