How can I add "preprocessor" to PHP, e.g. replace all "--" with "−" before PHP starts parsing?

PHP is inherently a preprocessor. If I am correct in thinking, you
merely wish to change all "--" in some HTML code into "−−"
in the HTML as entities. This can be achieved by using str_replace on
the HTML code you wish to process.
