Stopping OS X from converting dashes...

[jeb1138]

Anyone know of a way to prevent OS X from converting a double dash '--' into an long (em) dash? In TextEdit, for example. This would be nice when I am trying to code a C++ program. XCode manages to not convert the dashes, but TextEdit & SubEtha seem to have this problem/feature due to something in OS X. Thanks!

Strange -- TextEdit doesn't do that for me -- at least not in plain-text mode. Are you coding in plain-text mode?
