Typography

Sample body text. The Markdown library runs with typographer on, so text pasted out of a messages app reads like the original rather than like typewriter output.
Straight quotes become curly ones: “like this”, and an apostrophe in don’t or it’s curls the right way round. Two hyphens – like these – become an en dash. Three become an em dash — like these — which is wider. Three dots turn into a single ellipsis character…
That matters here because a post is usually written somewhere else and pasted in. Nothing in the file marks any of it up; the conversion happens at build time.
Inline code is left alone, so --flag and "string" survive untouched.
