Pandoc smart quotes extension (typography) not working

[goderich]

Hello!

I'm compiling a PDF using xelatex, and I'd like smart quotes to work (as per https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#typography). According to the README, this should be possible using the #+PANDOC_EXTENSIONS: smart option, however I'm not getting the desired result.

I may be misunderstanding how it works though. As far as I've been able to determine, the smart extension should be passed to the input format in Pandoc, eg --from org+smart from the command line does work. I tried passing different values to #+PANDOC_EXTENSIONS:, but I haven't been able to find one that works.

I did manage to get it to work using #+PANDOC_OPTIONS: from:org+smart, however that required me to add "from" to org-pandoc-valid-options.

Is this a bug? Is this a documentation issue? Or am I just doing something wrong?

While converting from org to docx, the "smart" extension is supposed to passed to pandoc command as -f org+smart as -t docx+smart is not supported. Whereas in the code, we are not appending the extensions to -f org parameter.
