+Using the options `smart_lsquo` etc. you can reconfigure the replacements for `'` and `"`. Use e.g. the following config to get correct quotes for the German language:
+
+    extensionConfigs = {
+        'smarty': [('smart_lsquo', '‚'), # sb is not a typo!
+                   ('smart_rsquo', '‘'),

+                   ('smart_rdquo', '“')]
+    }

 !!! note
     This extension reimplements the Python [SmartyPants] 
     library by intregated it into the markdown parser.
