kbd element not considered as raw text

[denisdefreyne]

kramdown.rb, line #184 specifies that the script, pre and code element have raw text, so that no smart typographical conversions are made (-- to en-dash etc).

I believe this list of elements should also include kbd. Otherwise, long-form commandline options (e.g. --version) need to be escaped:

Ruby may already be installed on your system. To check, open a terminal window
and type <kbd>ruby \--version</kbd>.

Without the backslash, the -- is turned into an en-dash.

You are referencing the kramdown converter and not the parser - any specific reason?

[denisdefreyne]

@gettalong Not sure. The only place where I could find where text is considered as “raw” was in that specific place.

[gpakosz]

what gives?

[gettalong]

Not sure what to do about this... The HTML converter is the false place since by then the en-dash is already created as an element.

[denisdefreyne]

@gettalong I am not sure where the fix should be, but I do know that the contents of the kbd element should be treated as raw, just like code, script etc.

Awesome, thanks. 👍
