Small detail: Hyphens are only used for hyphenation and for connecting words. In place of the hyphen you used in your sentence, you would place the em dash with no spaces around it—like this. There is also the en dash for ranges like "people of ages 0–18 are considered children".

I think maybe I will just stick with hyphens so nobody thinks I'm a chatbot.
