+# = 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
+# ("<tt>&#8217;</tt>") 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.
