Issue added as requested: http://discuss.gohugo.io/t/option-to-disable-latex-style-dash-parsing/1371.
Brief recap:
Hugo offers a number of options for adjusting Blackfriday.
One that seems to be missing is disabling LaTeX style dash parsing. Taken from the Blackfriday docs:
LaTeX-style dash parsing is an additional option, where -- is translated into –, and --- is translated into —. This differs from most smartypants processors, which turn a single hyphen into an ndash and a double hyphen into an mdash.
Could be implemented at the same time as #1220?
