Use smart quotes when rendering Markdown #358

Closed hdgarrood closed 6 years ago

hdgarrood commented 6 years ago

Mentioned by @grossbart in #357. This is mainly intended for the help pages but I imagine it would be nice when rendering package readmes and inline docs too.

Possible options:

Switch to pandoc, which has this built in already (see Try pandoc)
Do it using cheapskate's walk

Having thought about this a little more I think Pandoc is a bit overkill. Converting to Cheapskate's Doc type and then using walk is the option which looks most promising to me right now.

I've made a start on this in the smart-quotes branch: https://github.com/purescript/pursuit/tree/smart-quotes
