To wit: - `pandoc foo.tex -t markdown foo.md` will not produce smart quotes. - `pandoc foo.tex -t markdown-smart foo.md` will produce smart quotes.

I think the examples you give might be the opposite of what happens - in the docs:

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-smart

The meaning of the -smart extension on option names is inverted in some cases, and enabled by default on markdown output.
