This must be checked against older asciidocs to verify that it does not turn the unescaped sequence -- into an em-dash. The \-- traces back to e1ccf53 ([PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacement, 2005-09-12), which indicates that it _was_ a problem in the past. (The asciidoc 8.2.5 on my system does not use an em-dash in either case.) ACK on all single-dash cases though, which are indeed wrong and were apparently introduced later in 8089c85 (git-commit: add a prepare-commit-msg hook, 2008-02-05). - Thomas -- Thomas Rast trast@student.ethz.ch ``` ## SZEDER Gábor, 2008-09-30 17:21 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Documentation: remove '\' from front of options in githooks doc Message-ID: <20080930172155.GJ6941@neumann> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080930172155.GJ6941%40neumann In-Reply-To: <200809301756.41518.trast@student.ethz.ch> ``` Hi Thomas, On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 05:56:32PM +0200, Thomas Rast wrote: > This must be checked against older asciidocs to verify that it does > not turn the unescaped sequence -- into an em-dash.

However, it worth noting that there are plenty other places where the double dash in long options are not escaped with a '\'. > ACK on all single-dash cases though, which are indeed wrong and were > apparently introduced later in 8089c85 (git-commit: add a > prepare-commit-msg hook, 2008-02-05). I will send a corrected patch shortly.

This escaping is only needed for double dashes to be compatible with older asciidoc versions; see commit e1ccf53 ([PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacement, 2005-09-12).
