I've enabled both "Quotes" and "Smarts", but when I enter the following in the editor:

"This is a test. 'Is this a test?' -- Yes, it is. --- Is it? ...maybe."

the preview tab shows:

> "This is a test. 'Is this a test?' -- Yes, it is. --- Is it? ...maybe."

where I would expect something like:

> “This is a test. ‘Is this a test?’ –Yes, it is. —Is it? …maybe.”

(Note smart quotes, en and em dashes, single-character ellipsis.)

Possibly I'm misunderstanding the purpose of these options?
