I just realized that many LaTeX-style macros will export correctly as
HTML entities, so in a sense this isn't strictly necessary. If "---"
turns into an m-dash in both HTML and LaTeX then the problem is more or
less solved, though on principle I'd definitely prefer that unicode work
correctly. Also, there doesn't seem to be a working macro for curly
quotes to HTML…
