Text Conversions
DokuWiki can convert certain pre-defined characters or strings into images or other text or HTML.
The text to image conversion is mainly done for smileys. And the text to HTML conversion is used for typography replacements, but can be configured to use other HTML as well.
Text to Image Conversions
DokuWiki converts commonly used emoticons to their graphical equivalents. Those Smileys and other images can be configured and extended. Here is an overview of Smileys included in DokuWiki:

Text to HTML Conversions
Typography: dokuwiki can convert simple text characters to their typographically correct entities. Here is an example of recognized characters.
→ ← ↔ ⇒ ⇐ ⇔ » « – — 640×480 © ™ ® “He thought 'It's a man's world'…”
-> <- <-> => <= <=> >> << -- --- 640x480 (c) (tm) (r) "He thought 'It's a man's world'..."
The same can be done to produce any kind of HTML, it just needs to be added to the pattern file.
There are three exceptions which do not come from that pattern file: multiplication entity (640×480), 'single' and “double quotes”. They can be turned off through a config option.
