== RubyPants
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.
See rubypants.rb for more information.
== Incompatibilities
RubyPants uses a different API than SmartyPants; it is compatible to
Red- and BlueCloth. Usually, you call RubyPants like this:
nicehtml = RubyPants.new(uglyhtml, options).to_html
where +options+ is an Array of Integers and/or Symbols (if you don't
pass any options, RubyPants will use <tt>[2]</tt> as default.)
*Note*:: This is incompatible to SmartyPants, which uses <tt>[1]</tt>
for default.
The exact meaning of numbers and symbols is documented at RubyPants#new.
