Hi,
Typographically, isn't what you want here an *en dash*, rather than a
hyphen? When the dash is set off by a space, that is usually the case.
Try:
#+begin_quote
-- this --
#+end_quote
(don't forget to add a space after the last double hyphen, or it will
not be converted)
Cheers,
CM

Hello,
I would like to know how to make some sequence of characters to be
verbatim, ie that special characters lose their special meaning.
For instance in the following quote the first `-' will be interpreted as
a bullet point when exporting to HTML
#+begin_quote
- this -
#+end_quote
So I tried this:
#+begin_quote
~-~ this -
#+end_quote
but then the first `-' is not in the same font as the second one, it
looks exaclty the same as if I had used the code =xxx= font
specfication.
I also tried this:
#+begin_quote
\- this -
#+end_quote
I does not work (the first dash is not exported at all).
The same problem is for `[0]', how can you get this string not to be
interpreted as a footnote reference.
It should be possible to make the following type of things:
#+begin_verbatim
[0]
#+end_verbatim
or \verbatim{EOF}Hello - EOF
where EOF can be any string that is not found in the verbatim string. so
\verbatim{.}Hello - .
would to the same as \verbatim{xxx}Hello - xxx.
In the same vein, it would be useful to have some \relax{} macro not
expanding to anything, this way _\relax{} some underlining with
underlined leading spaces_ would work.
BR,
Vincent.
