(dsssl) Double-dash sign and TeX backend

["Markus Hoenicka" <hoenicka_markus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try to use something like &endash;&endash;. The Tex backend or the
JadeTeX macros seem to be intelligent enough to treat this as two
separate dashes. This works also in the other backends and needs no
customizations in the stylesheets.
