[chore] markdown: disable Smartypants rendering (#1111)

* [enhancement] markdown: disable SmartyPantsFractions

fixes #1028

* some fractions are still converted to unicode

to fix that, we might need to disable smartypants indeed in its entirety

* disable smartypants completely

for lack of a better simple solution
