Dear Org mode hackers,
I started Emacs with `emacs -Q -l setup.el test-case.org', then typed
`C-c C-e h o' to export to HTML and open the result. The setup file
(`setup.el'), test case (`test-case.org'), HTML output (`lose.html'),
and a PDF printed by the web browser (`lose.pdf'), are attached.
The test case contains a one-cell table with three hyphens (`---').
I expected this to be converted to an em-dash in the HTML output,
but it remained three hyphens.
A patch fixing the problem is attached, along with the HTML and PDF
produced after the patch was applied (`win.html', `win.pdf').
I started preparing this report last May (sorry for the delay)
but just confirmed the bug again with Org-mode version 8.2.5g
(`release_8.2.5g-663-g24a213' @ `/src/org-mode/lisp/') and GNU Emacs
24.3.1 (`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu', X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2013-09-24.
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas

Thank you for the patch. A few remarks below.

You need to add TINYCHANGE at the end of the commit message.

The new regexps still don't look right, as they can match an additional
dash:
(string-match "---\\([^-]?\\)" "----") => 0
I'm not sure about the intent of this regexp, that is whether
consecutive mdashes or ndashes are allowed or not.
A correct version could be either:
("---" . "—")
or
("\\([^-]\\|^\\)---\\([^-]\\|$\\)" . "\\1—\\2")
I think the former is on par with LaTeX behaviour.
What do you think?
Regards,

Good point, and I don't see any problem with your first version,
though I don't understand the intent behind the original regexp,
either. I had assumed the point was to avoid matching horizontal
separator lines in tables, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.
Thanks,
Thomas
