    EOMD
    
    my $html = markdown($markdown);
    my $fancyhtml = smartypants($html);

At this point $html contains the basic html rendered from the markdown, which will look like

    <h1>Installation</h1>
    
    <p>The simplest way to install this is with cpanm!
    Thanks to 'Natacha Porté' and any other contributors for Upskirt</p>

and $fancyhtml has had smart quotes and things added to look like this

    <h1>Installation</h1>
    
    <p>The simplest way to install this is with cpanm!
    Thanks to &lsquo;Natacha Porté&rsquo; and any other contributors for Upskirt</p>
