## Suggestion: Markdown with [SmartyPants](http:// daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/)
Is SmartyPants safe for code? I.e. I often have some form of code or data format listed in my Markdown files where " means " and ' means '. When I want “curly quotes” I type that. Though I don't use the nicer ’ character.
SmartyPants does not modify characters within <pre>, <code>,
<kbd>, or <script> tag blocks. Typically, these tags are used to display text where smart quotes and other “smart punctuation” would not be appropriate, such as source code or example markup.
It worked fine for me with my documentation.
