When discussing long command line options like

-version
In source code markup they are rendered as desired (--version).
What is the trick to get them to be rendered with a double hyphen?
That is smartypants attempting to make your text typographically nicer
(the -- is converted to an "en dash", which is more appropriate than a
normal hyphen in some cases).
As you noticed, smartypants shouldn't touch "literal" sections (such as
source code). (Although there are buggy, common versions of smartypants
out there that mistakenly do, and if that was your problem it is a
simple matter of upgrading.)
The best way to deal with this particular instance is to use an inline
reST literal, which would be to quote the command line option in
double-backquotes as in ``--version``.
