I hadn't tried it until now. I have several SGML files that include
themselves (with comments) and I never noticed such problem. This is
not a bug in Jade or OpenJade. It's a bug in Jadetex. :-) If you look
at the stuff.tex file, you'll see that it's converting "--" to "-", as
the expected behaviour on LaTeX and TeX systems. 

There seems to be a patch to fix that but I don't remember where it is
and where it is applied (if to OpenJade or to Jadetex or to LaTeX). 

Maybe Sebastian Rahtz, Jadetex's maintainer, can comment on that.


(I've added the list address again, so that other people that knows
where to find this patch and what it does exactly can comment on that)
