Problem description: When writing a technical document, I often have sections which are intended to be cut-and-pasted into a terminal window. For these sections I use a specific paragraph style. LibreOffice by default does certain character substitutions such as replacing "--" with a long line. This does look good in the text so I wouldn't want to disable the substitution altogether but it's suboptimal when the intention is that the text should be pasted into a terminal and then some command-line option has gotten substituted into something that the terminal interprets as a control code and goes berserk... I therefore propose that it should be possible to disable character substitutions in a paragraph style. Operating System: Fedora Version: 4.2.1.1 release
You can disable this under Tools > AutoCorrect Options > Options > uncheck the options you don't want. Set as worksforme, please reopen if it doesn't solve your problem - Sophie
I do realize that auto-correct options can be disabled, but rather then disabling them for an entire document, I would like to disable them only in a paragraph style. So that when I'm writing this particular paragraph style, the autocorrection is disabled but for the rest of the document it should be enabled.
From what I can see this was never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED to get their confirmation.

Disabling auto-correct for a single paragraph seems plausible enough. Status -> NEW UX: I'm tossing this one over to you as you might want to have some input here.
If I could have a wish, I would not only like to disable it paragraph-by-paragraph, but also in a paragraph style.
Please note that pressing Ctrl+Z immediately after the substitution has been made will undo it. This behaviour seems ok to me.
