markdown-smart

I have an issue with markdown documents that uses the straight accents. (like in: It**'**s time)

It converts by default (pandoc 2.0.6) to a curly accent, and does not display well in my browser

In order to isolate the issue I made command line:

$ echo "'" | pandoc
<p>ÔÇÖ</p>

Then I found out that in fact one need to use iconv like this:

$ echo "'" | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
<p>’</p>

I know you can hardly see the difference, but this accent is not the accent I want

So I want pandoc to produce:
<p>'</p>
I can do that by:

$ echo "'" | pandoc -r markdown-smart
<p>'</p>

So in order to do that I need to specify the smart extension for importing the markdown.

I do that in my conf.py file:

MarkdownParser.PANDOC_OPT[1] = MarkdownParser.PANDOC_OPT[1] + "-smart"

But it does not have any effect....

So I reviewed the source code and I saw that you actually specify twice the input format for markdown.
See here: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#general-options the -r and the -f are exactly the same thing

the -f is defined here
and the -r is defined here.

My pull request is working on my win7 machine with pandoc 2.0.6.
