  I have a linux related blog and this means I have to display commands on my blog.

  People should be able to copy/paste these commands, but sometimes wordpress shows the text wrong, thus the command doesn’t work anymore.

  I need to give this frequently:

  – – (without a space between the 2 -) but wordpress displays this as –

  This means the command is wrong and doesn’t work.

  If I write it, it gets displayed correctly, but once I publish the post, it displays it wrong.

  Can this be fixed?

  Thanks for mentioning it, it might be usefull in the future, but it’s not what I need now.

  It are just cli commands.

  Does wrapping it in pre tags work?
