ENTITIES

Org-ruby supports “smart double quotes,” ‘smart single quotes,’ apostrophes for contractions like won’t and can’t, and other things… like elipses. Oh – and dashes.

<Even in headlines! funner & funner!>

« They α should β be γ able δ to η exist θ in ε the same line √ ».

\laquo They won't appear in in example blocks. \raquo

⌈ — — — — — — ⌉

Though they appear in center blocks

⌊ — — — — — — ⌋

To work they have to be separated, like ♥ ♥, not like ♥\hearts.
