I want to use ndashes in my page titles. In the content of the post a double hyphen -- is automatically converted by markdownify. Since titles are not processed through markdownify the double hyphen is preserved.
Is there a reason not to apply markdownify to titles? If there is not I will open a pull-request with my suggested changes. :)

The main reason should be that titles will be used in a bunch of places expecting plain text, e.g. the page's <title> tag. And while Hugo's plainify function can strip out HTML tags, it won't turn HTML entities into their plain text equivalent. So you'll end up with &ndash; displayed as text in the page title...

Then again, $title | plainify | htmlUnescape will take care of those HTML entities as well. So I guess that this could be done.
