Hi Tim! Thanks for the report. Version 2.6.3 was just released, and those pages were re-generated using modern tools, and the pages appear to contains real ASCII '--' now. Can you confirm this? Maybe it depends on the browser, but at least inspecting the HTML code now suggests it should really be fixed. /Simon
