FS#2934 Double dash is converted into a single long dash in the inline ''code''
CSS, XHTML, JS, Browsers

When I write the code on a separate line, it is displayed correctly. However, if I write an "in-line" code (for example, ''man --help''), the result is different. Namely, the double dash ''--'' is transformed into a single long (or medium?) dash "–". For example, "man –help".
This is very bad for code copy-paste, since the user may be easily confused by this single dash if she is not aware of this problem. -

The -- to the long – is a conversion as explained in: https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax#text_to_html_conversions
You can prevent interpretation as syntax by wrapping with %%..%% for example in your case: man %%--%%help or %%man --help%%
or placing it in code blocks. Here 3 examples: <code>man --help</code>, <file>man --help</file> or prefixing by two spaces " man --help"

Thanks for the tip with '%%'! It works just as I need. Still it seams somewhat strange to me that the ''-quotes, which are placed when I click the "Code" button on the toolbar, does not turn off the text processing. Isn't it a bug?
Edit: What I use actually was the ''%%....%%'' combination. For example, ''%%man --help%%''. And it produces exactly what I need -- an unprocessed inline code. -

The double single quote syntax ''...'' is only formatting with monotype font. It is not an inline code block, so therefore you require %%...%% for switching off syntax interpretation. -

Hmm. That makes sense. But currently in my version the corresponding button is called "Code" and not "monotype". So, maybe it is worth renaming? -

You could also install the UnformattedCode plugin [https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:unformattedcode] which fixes that exact issue. -
