Markdown backend configuration

You can configure Okular Markdown rendering backend based on Discount by choosing Markdown from the list on the left part of the configuration dialog. An additional configurable option is as follows.

Enable SmartyPants formatting

When checked this option allows Okular to process SmartyPants formatting. Such formatting can be troublesome in the technical texts because of unwanted substitutions (e.g., it replaces (C) with a copyright symbol). This option is checked by default.
