+Introduce a `smartypants` flag to opt-out of Astro's default SmartyPants plugin.
+
+```js
+{
+  markdown: {
+    smartypants: false,
+  }
+}
+```
+
+  #### Migration
+  
+  You may have disabled Astro's built-in plugins (GitHub-Flavored Markdown and Smartypants) with the `extendDefaultPlugins` option. This has now been split into 2 flags to disable each plugin individually:
+  - `markdown.gfm` to disable GitHub-Flavored Markdown
+  - `markdown.smartypants` to disable SmartyPants
+
+  ```diff
+  // astro.config.mjs
+  import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+
+  export default defineConfig({
+    markdown: {
+  -   extendDefaultPlugins: false,
+  +   smartypants: false,
+  +   gfm: false,
+    }
+  });
+  ```
