Description

DokuWiki has a concept of text conversions. It is similar to emoji and smart extensions.

Text to image conversions, such as :-) should convert to corresponding emojis if emoji extension is enabled.

Text to HTML conversions attempt to correct typography and correspond to the smart extension.

Research direction
Examine the DokuWiki reader implementation in pandoc's source code, focusing on how emoji and smart extensions are currently handled. Look for the relevant modules and functions that perform text conversions. Then extend the reader to support text to image and text to HTML conversions as described in the DokuWiki syntax documentation, referencing the existing emoji and smart extension patterns.
