Pandoc is great.  If you read this...
  http://practicaltypography.com/
...and want to make some of the methods
there work without too much extra
tweaking and relying on the "Compose" key (
http://practicaltypography.com/straight-and-curly-quotes.html
) then pandoc conversion of CommonMark to HTML is
the thing.

(CommonMark is the attempt to make Markdown more
consistent between sites and tools.  It would
be especially welcome for Pandoc, ikiwiki, and
GitHub Pages not to have annoying inconsistencies.
The author of Pandoc is the main author of the
CommonMark spec.
