The reason why in Hexo all double hyphens (--) generate into long dashes (&mdash or —) is because in hexo-renderer-marked plugin option smartypants (Use "smart" typograhic punctuation for things like quotes and dashes) is enabled by default.
To disable it add in main Hexo _config.yml:
```
marked:
  smartypants: false
```
After that need to update text in your *.md file to regenerate output with new parameters by this plugin. Of course, hexo clean && hexo g or reload hexo s after that.
