Description
From http://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/:
SmartyPants is a free web publishing plug-in for Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into “smart” typographic punctuation HTML entities.
SmartyPants can perform the following transformations:
- Straight quotes ( " and ' ) into “curly” quote HTML entities
- Backticks-style quotes (``like this'') into “curly” quote HTML entities
- Dashes (“--” and “---”) into en- and em-dash entities
- Three consecutive dots (“...”) into an ellipsis entity
TiddlyWiki already converts dashes into en- and em-dashes. Backticks-style quotes look like they would clash with existing syntax, but the quote and ellipsis handling looks good.
