All the double-dashes in command line arguments have been turned into em-dashes; this might confuse some people. e.g., valgrind —tool=cachegrind should be valgrind --tool=cachegrind

Fedora 8, no probem - double-dashes are double-dashes. What browser are you using ?

It works fine because I fixed the problem. The script which converts from LaTeX replaced all double-dash sequences with mdashes, which is the right thing to do most of the time. But that obviously doesn't work when dealing with command-line arguments.
