How to get \mathtt to write in HTML as a single <code> element?

How to get \mathtt to write in HTML as a single <code> element?

I've got a Markdown file that contains inline math with `\mathtt`.  This is 
parsed into native format as

    Math InlineMath "I_1 \\bullet \\mathtt{add}(X,Y,Z) \\cdot I_2"

and when written to HTML, the `\mathtt` part renders as

    <code>a</code><code>d</code><code>d</code>

I really want it to render as

    <code>add</code>

so that my CSS styling will come out right.  I was prepared to write a Lua 
filter, but it looks like the decision is being made downstream.

How can I persuade the HTML writer to render the \mathtt the way I want?

P.S. In order to maintain compatibility with an installation I don't 
control, I am multiple versions behind---currently running Pandoc 2.2.1.  I 
can request an upgrade, but not soon.

It seems you're using pandoc's default "fake it using unicode"
method of rendering math in HTML.  Why not use --katex or
--mathjax, which should give much better results?
