#
# = RubyPants - SmartyPants ported to Ruby
#
# == Synopsis
#
# RubyPants is a Ruby port of the smart-quotes library SmartyPants.
#
# The original "SmartyPants" is a free web publishing plug-in for
# Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit that easily translates plain ASCII
# punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML
# entities.
#
#
# == Description
# 
# RubyPants can perform the following transformations:
# 
# * Straight quotes (<tt>"</tt> and <tt>'</tt>) into "curly" quote
#   HTML entities
# * Backticks-style quotes (<tt>``like this''</tt>) into "curly" quote
#   HTML entities
# * Dashes (<tt>--</tt> and <tt>---</tt>) into en- and em-dash
#   entities
# * Three consecutive dots (<tt>...</tt> or <tt>. . .</tt>) into an
#   ellipsis entity
# 
# This means you can write, edit, and save your posts using plain old
# ASCII straight quotes, plain dashes, and plain dots, but your
# published posts (and final HTML output) will appear with smart
# quotes, em-dashes, and proper ellipses.
# 
# RubyPants does not modify characters within <tt><pre></tt>,
# <tt><code></tt>, <tt><kbd></tt>, <tt><math></tt> or
# <tt><script></tt> 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.
#
#
# == Backslash Escapes
# 
# If you need to use literal straight quotes (or plain hyphens and
# periods), RubyPants accepts the following backslash escape sequences
# to force non-smart punctuation. It does so by transforming the
# escape sequence into a decimal-encoded HTML entity:
# 
#   \\    \"    \'    \.    \-    \`
#
# This is useful, for example, when you want to use straight quotes as
# foot and inch marks: 6'2" tall; a 17" iMac.  (Use <tt>6\'2\"</tt>
# resp. <tt>17\"</tt>.)
#
# 
# == Algorithmic Shortcomings
# 
# One situation in which quotes will get curled the wrong way is when
# apostrophes are used at the start of leading contractions. For
# example:
# 
#   'Twas the night before Christmas.
# 
# In the case above, RubyPants will turn the apostrophe into an
# opening single-quote, when in fact it should be a closing one. I
# don't think this problem can be solved in the general case--every
# word processor I've tried gets this wrong as well. In such cases,
# it's best to use the proper HTML entity for closing single-quotes
# (``&#8217;``) by hand.
# 
# 
# == Bugs
#
# To file bug reports or feature requests (except see above) please
# send email to: mailto:chneukirchen@gmail.com
#
# If the bug involves quotes being curled the wrong way, please send
# example text to illustrate.
#
#
# == Authors
# 
# John Gruber did all of the hard work of writing this software in
# Perl for Movable Type and almost all of this useful documentation.
# Chad Miller ported it to Python to use with Pyblosxom.
#
# Christian Neukirchen provided the Ruby port, as a general-purpose
# library that follows the *Cloth api.
