Runs into some punctuation (6)
I believe the answer is:
dashes
'runs' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dashes that I've seen before include "Sprints, runs fast" , "Strokes" , "Quick run or sudden rush" , "Makes a quick run" , "Long signals in Morse code" .)
