Sphinx's smartquotes was turning `--convert` and `--functions` into en-dashes because they were sitting in the display text of a `:ref:` block, where escapes don't reach. Reworded the sentence so the literal options live inline in code spans (``--convert`` / ``--functions``) and the `:ref:` links point at the commands themselves. Same content, but the dashes render right now.

Closes #493.

The double dashes were hitting Sphinx's smartquotes inside the `:ref:`
display text and coming out as en-dashes. Move them into inline code
spans and reword the sentence around the links so smartquotes never
sees them.

Closes simonw#493.
