Here is a little bit of simple-minded hackery to put a space after
the minus sign ... does this help?
:lisp (setf (get 'mminus 'wxxmlword) "<v>- </v>");
:lisp (setf (get 'mminus 'wxxmlsym) '("<v>- </v>"));
Just enter this in your wxMaxima session.
Note very carefully the punctuation, in particular distinguish
the single quotes from double.
Hope this helps,
