Welcome to Linux Screw! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe our RSS feed.
As we know latest wordpress.org blog publishing system includes feature that allows to replace double hyphens into single dash: — into — or –. It’s rather trivial issue but Linux Screw blog contains a lot of shell code examples like sudo apt-get remove mc --purge and I was wondering how to disable it for a long time 
To disable this you should edit /wp-includes/formatting.php:
- to disable only replacement — into —, just remove ‘–’ and ‘ — ‘ from the following line:
$static_characters = array_merge(array('---', ' -- ', '--', 'xn–', '...', '``', '\'s', '\'\'', ' (tm)'), $cockney);
and remove second and third elements from:
$static_replacements = array_merge(...line. - to disable any characters replacements made by wordpress you can comment the following lines:
$curl = str_replace($static_characters, $static_replacements, $curl);
$curl = preg_replace($dynamic_characters, $dynamic_replacements, $curl);
In other words, after commenting they should look like:
//$curl = str_replace($static_characters, $static_replacements, $curl);
//$curl = preg_replace($dynamic_characters, $dynamic_replacements, $curl);
Hope it helps!

You you should edit the webpage subject title Disable double hyphen to dash wordpress replacements – Linux * Screw to something more suited for your webpage you create. I liked the blog post nevertheless.
Nice trick – I actually had been playing with something similar, but was trying to figure a way to do it with HTML code (like for special characters, etc.)
Great – I should certainly say I’m impressed with your blog. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related info. It ended up being truly easy to access. Good job…
