I have the following markdown file that demonstrates the issue (at least in my environment):

# Example

An example of the double-hyphen wrapping issue.



## Process

See below.



### List Process

The `--all` flag can be used to list all processes that have been started. The `--pid` and `--uniqueid`

arguments can be used to display information about a specific pid or unique id, respectively. If

called with the `--verbose` flag, the command will display the complete output of the process, as well

as the Exit Code, Run Time, and other process information, if available.

The above could probably be shortened a bit, but does demonstrate the issue. The --pid is wrapped between the first and second hyphens. I don't want it to be wrapped before the first hyphen.

I use pandoc to generate a LaTeX file, which is then processed by pdflatex to generate a PDF file.

The LaTeX file is too large to put here, but the section of the file that has the above for the document body is as follows (I left the title page, table of contents, intentional blank page, and revision table out of the below):

The texttt{-/-all} flag can be used to list all processes that have

been started. The texttt{-/-pid} and

texttt{-/-uniqueid} arguments can be used to display information

about a specific pid or unique id, respectively. If

called with the texttt{-/-verbose} flag, the command will display the

complete output of the process, as well as the Exit Code, Run Time, and

other process information, if available.



end{document}

I have the following definition in my template.latex file for the texttt, which is needed to prevent word wrapping for long commands:

letoldTexttttexttt

renewcommand{texttt}[1]{%

    hyphenpenalty=10000

    exhyphenpenalty=10000

    setlength{emergencystretch}{6em}

    setlhcolor{codegray}%

    {ttfamilyhl{#1}}%

    setlength{emergencystretch}{3em}

    exhyphenpenalty=50

    hyphenpenalty=50

}

I'd like to be able to modify the above texttt definition to get what I need, rather than having to edit either the source files or the LaTeX file from pandoc.

** Update **

Here is the simplest LaTeX example I could come up with that exhibits the problem:

I hope this helps.

As you already doing a replace on the argument, you could expand it to replace the -/- by mbox{-/-}:

documentclass[12pt,]{article}

usepackage{lmodern}

usepackage{mathptmx} % makes Time New Roman the default font

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

% use upquote if available, for straight quotes in vebatim environments

IfFileExists{upquote.sty}{usepackage{upquote}}{}

% use microtype if available

IfFileExists{microtype.sty}{%

  usepackage{microtype}

  UseMicrotypeSet[protrusion,expansion]{basicmath} % disable protrusion for tt fonts

}{}

usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

usepackage{listings}

setlength{emergencystretch}{3em} % prevent overfull lines



usepackage{parskip}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{soul}







definecolor{codegray}{HTML}{F0F0F0}

It doesn't make sense to change all the penalties etc in texttt: the settings are paragraph values.
