Please, use the Unicode character, that you want to display, e.g. U+2014 
(em dash), or U+2013 (en dash). This way readers of the raw rst file 
will not be irritated and the rendering in HTML will not depend on the 
smartquotes_action setting.

But to be honest I don't see great value in this typography change.

Best regards
