+!!! note
+ This extension reimplements the Python [SmartyPants]
+ library by intregated it into the markdown parser.
+ While this does not provide any additional features,
+ it does offer a few advantages. Notably, it will not
+ try to work on highlighted code blocks (using the
+ [CodeHilite] Extension) like the third party library
+ has been known to do.
