   Format: MarkdownItexI guess I need to get or write a [smartypants](http://daringfireball.net/projects/smartypants/) plugin for this forum. I imagine that there's already PHP code for that so it shouldn't be hard. I'll stick it on the TODO list! Should it be applied to all text filters, or just Markdown?

   Format: MarkdownItexI'd say just the Markdown filters (and maybe Textile). But like Mike, I never use the others.
