For example, instead of typing the Unicode /HORIZONTAL +ELLISPIS/ character `…` by hand, one can instead type tree dots +`...`. En dashes and em dashes can be written as `--` and `---` +respectively. Furthermore, quotation marks (`"`) and +apostrophe-quotes (`'`) can be treated in a "smart" way, +potentially replacing them with proper, language specific unicode +quotation characters. + +Like in Markdown, these behaviors can be turned on all-at-once by +enabling the `smart` extension.

There are currently no command line flags +which control these features. As a workaround, one can use process +substitution, a feature supported by most shells.
