Most of TeX fonts have ligature which turns two - into en-dash. This
behaviour is not in effect when using monospaced fonts. I can not check
it in PDF version, but I think that -- are corrupted only inside of
paragraphs, not in programlisting. Adding something like <literal>
around inline code can help:
E.g.
Another good example of expression orientation is pre- and
post-increment and decrement. Users of PHP/FI 2 and many other
languages may be familiar with the notation of
<literal>variable++</literal> and
<literal>variable--</literal>. These are increment and decrement
operators. In
PHP/FI 2, the statement '<literal>$a++</literal>' has no value (is
not an
expression), and thus you can't assign it or use it in any way.
