I'm now puzzled which is the correct order to apply the filters. SmartyPants
first and Markdown then (as above), or the other way round (as you suggested
a couple of months ago :-)?

Markdown, then Smartypants. If you run Smartypants first, it'll  
convert characters like quotes to curly ones in link definitions and  
code samples, and the result won't be processed correctly by the  
Markdown filter. Smartypants wants HTML-formatted input, not Markdown- 
formatted input.

This is documented in the PHP Markdown Readme:

Indeed, I just checked my script and this is the order I ended up with.

Very sorry. Must have been a late night. Of course Smartypants takes
X/HTML input.
