Thank you.

I was hoping for the second solution above that is also used in LaTeX.

I tried downloading SmartyPants but that seems to need Moveable Type to 
work, if I have understood it correctly.

I have also downloaded and installed libtext-typography-perl which 
claims to be "a thin wrapper for John Gruber's SmartyPants plugin for
  various CMSs" but I do not know where SmartyPants.pl should reside for 
this synergy to happen.

TIA.
