Re: [O] Inhibit converting "--" to "–"

Hello Nicolas,

For me, org-e-html-special-string-regexps
does not (yet) play well.

--------------------------------------------------

Certainly.

If I add that one line to the end of init.el:

--------------------------------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error:
   (void-variable org-e-html-special-string-regexps)
      add-to-list(org-e-html-special-string-regexps ("-nd-" . "--"))
      [etc.]
--------------------------------------------------

And the attempted compile kicks off a renaming error,
that I do not understand. That is, if I delete the new
line, and try to compile:

--------------------------------------------------
byte-compile-file: Renaming: permission denied,
                   g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc16464y,
                   g:/dev/bin/emacs/.emacs.d/init.elc
--------------------------------------------------

If I kill emacs, delete all init.elc* files, and restart,
byte-compile proceeds without complaint.

I've tried to wrap the line in two ways, but neither work:

--------------------------------------------------
(eval-after-load 'org
  (add-to-list
   'org-e-html-special-string-regexps '("-nd-" . "--")))
--------------------------------------------------

Same "void-variable" error, and "Renaming: permission denied"
error, with multiple init.elc3996DWC, etc.

And same if I wrap it like this (void and renaming errors),
which is the syntax that works for the old exporter:

--------------------------------------------------
(eval-after-load "org"
  '(setq org-e-html-special-string-regexps
         (append org-e-html-special-string-regexps
                 '(("-nd-" . "--")))))
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

If I remove all code snippet from init.el, kill emacs,
delete all init.elcXXX files, and restart, emacs is fine.

But, if I repeatedly test different permutations, emacs
hangs trying to open a plain text file, showing no text
and a broken scroll bar, and corrupts the desktop file.

That is to say, it doesn't (yet) work for me ;).

Hope this helps!
