Text Formatting ⇒ Dash Formatting in verbatim Text

[Jaraqui]

Hi,
I need to write a decrement "i--" in the middle of a text.
I can´t simply type "i--", because the "--" becomes a medium dash.

I tried to use this:

Code: Select all

 i\verb'--' 

The results were:

1. a pdf was generated, but an error message too:

   Missing } inserted

2. it showed i--' (I don´t want this ' char).

What´s wrong? Which solution is more appropriate?

Hi Jaraqui,

simply type:

Code: Select all

i-{}-

Also

Code: Select all

i{-}-

and similar versions would work, using braces to prevent the ligature. The \verb version would work, but would change the font.
