myst to Latex: bad space management with hyphen-minus character (U+002D)

[honnorat]

With myst v1.5.1, code blocks are badly rendered by myst-to-tex when a '-' character is present.

Description

See: https://mystmd.org/sandbox?tab=latex&myst=YQAtAGIAIABhABEgYgAKAAoAYABhAC0AYgAgAGEAESBiAGAACgAKAGAAYABgAAoAYQAtAGIAIAAKAGEAESBiAAoAYABgAGAACgAKAA%3D%3D

The first a-b (with a U+002D character) is badly rendered in the Latex code block export (rendered as a verbatim environment) with a space: a -b. All other exports are ok (inline code, paragraph).

The bug can be avoided by using a non-breaking hyphen (U+2011, second word in the example) but you must admit it its not convenient.

Proposed solution

No idea.
