Extension does not interpret smart punctation in preview

See original GitHub issue

The preview does not interpret the “smart” typographic signs that are common in markdown: — → — – → – “a” → “a” ‘b’ → ‘b’

(Don’t know if this is a bug or a feature request)

How can I reproduce it?

Take the preview of a markdown file containing:

"aaa" -- 'bbb' --- ccc

Is there any error message in the console?

Duplicate of #823, I guess.

The typographer of markdown-it seems to turn on all these conversions, while the plugin markdown-it-replacements implements them with fine-grained control.

We might have to rely on https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/107328
