Re: Verbatim export

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

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
