Might be a bit pedantic, but does it matter which kind of hyphen is given? I would assume the hyphen-minus ('-') is needed, since this is the de facto character in programming languages and data representations for that purpose. But the one you wrote in the example is probably an em-dash or something like that?! Just scrolled over the wikipedia articles for hyphen, minus, dash, etc. and the variety is insane :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen#Hyphen-minus The point is: If there are Android keyboards which allow to type - as well as − then users may enter the wrong character. Don't know if such keyboards exist. Surely, it looks better with the one you used. |

Before the examples I'd add a line break. To not have one block of (though small) text, but to be able to read it faster and just look at the examples. |

Should be better now: What do you think? |
|
Would it be better to have either "like" or "i.e." rather than both (I am not 100% sure)? |

Or even better just write it in the long form and (as that looks much better than splitting a sentence in the middle over two lines) begin a new sentence. "For instance write…" or so. Also the grammar is a bit strange there. You "can simply input […] or as ranges". The "as" is strange. Why not just "You can enter […] or ranges". Maybe use "enter", that is less technical. "Input" is "programmer-speak"… 😉 |

maybe nitpick, but why choose comma as separator instead of semi-colon, which ismuch more commun I think in OSM?

"," is more common for housenumbers. Search for "," vs ";" on taginfo
This PR fixes #917
Does anybody have improvements regarding the wording?
