         See **sway**(5) for a list of commands.
 
+        Tip: If you are proving a command that contains a leading hyphen (_-_),
+        insert two hyphens (_--_) before the command to signal to swaymsg not to
+        parse anything beyond that point as an option. For example, use
+        _swaymsg -- mark --add test_ instead of _swaymsg mark --add test_
