Inhibit converting "--" to "–"

Inhibit converting "--" to "–"

[Tsunenobu Kai]

Hello everyone,

When I export a org file to html, string "--" in org file is converted
to "–" in html.
I want to display "--" verbatim, so could you tell me how to inhibit
converting "--"?

Thanks, sorry for stupid question

What happens if you enclose the two dashes in equal signs?  As:

    =--=

I tried exporting =--=, then =--= is unfortunately converted to =–=
in html. Is there any other way?

If possible, I want to control it with export options in a
org file rather than markup rules.

Best regards,

Are you sure? In my case, both =--= and ~--~ get exported to HTML as
<code>--</code> with both the old and the new exporter.

I don't think that's possible.

I'm sorry I made a mistake. I exported "=--=help" by mistake, and then
it was
converted "&ndash;help". "=--help=" gets exported to HTML as "--help" and
that's what I want to do.

Thank you for your help,
Kai

Kai,

With the old exporter, you could make your own
special-string and convert it.

In init.el:

--------------------------------------------------
;; For old exporter: C-c C-e h
(eval-after-load "org"
  '(setq org-export-html-special-string-regexps
	 (append org-export-html-special-string-regexps
		 '(("-nd-" . "--")))))
--------------------------------------------------


I've not been able to get special-strings working with
the new exporter, but it should be something like:

--------------------------------------------------
;; For new exporter (but not yet)
(eval-after-load "org"
  '(setq org-e-html-special-string-regexps
	 (append org-e-html-special-string-regexps
		 '(("-nd-" . "--")))))
--------------------------------------------------

Could you elaborate? I have no problem with special strings in any
back-end so far.

I have no problem with

  (add-to-list 'org-e-html-special-string-regexps '("-nd-" . "--"))

Hello Nicolas,

For me, org-e-html-special-string-regexps
does not (yet) play well.

--------------------------------------------------

Certainly.

If I add that one line to the end of init.el:

--------------------------------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error:
   (void-variable org-e-html-special-string-regexps)
      add-to-list(org-e-html-special-string-regexps ("-nd-" . "--"))
      [etc.]
--------------------------------------------------

And the attempted compile kicks off a renaming error,
that I do not understand. That is, if I delete the new
line, and try to compile:

--------------------------------------------------
byte-compile-file: Renaming: permission denied,
		   g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc16464y,
		   g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc
--------------------------------------------------

If I kill emacs, delete all init.elc* files, and restart,
byte-compile proceeds without complaint.

I've tried to wrap the line in two ways, but neither work:

--------------------------------------------------
(eval-after-load 'org
  (add-to-list
   'org-e-html-special-string-regexps '("-nd-" . "--")))
--------------------------------------------------

Same "void-variable" error, and "Renaming: permission denied"
error, with multiple init.elc3996DWC, etc.

And same if I wrap it like this (void and renaming errors),
which is the syntax that works for the old exporter:

--------------------------------------------------
(eval-after-load "org"
  '(setq org-e-html-special-string-regexps
	 (append org-e-html-special-string-regexps
		 '(("-nd-" . "--")))))
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

If I remove all code snippet from init.el, kill emacs,
delete all init.elcXXX files, and restart, emacs is fine.

But, if I repeatedly test different permutations, emacs
hangs trying to open a plain text file, showing no text
and a broken scroll bar, and corrupts the desktop file.

That is to say, it doesn't (yet) work for me ;).

Hope this helps!

You need to require `org-e-html' first.

this is (eval-after-load 'org-e-html ...).  Be sure contrib directory is
in your load-path, though.

Well, that was easy. It works fine now. Thanks.

Could you elaborate, or point me to some docs?

That's on the same basis as above.  Evaluating your code once org.el has
been loaded is too early.  You need to ensure `org-e-html' feature has
been provided first.

Thus, (eval-after-load "org-e-html" ...) is more appropriate than
(eval-after-load "org" ...).

Ah, got it. All is clear now.
