When I format the GNU C Intro and Reference, singlequote inside @code
comes out as a comma-like singlequote, rather that the upright singlequote
I would expect. This is made with Texinfo 2018-01-09, which is installed
in Trisquel 11.
This text displays that problem several times.
A @dfn{character constant} is written with single quotes, as in
@code{'@var{c}'}. In the simplest case, @var{c} is a single ASCII
character that the constant should represent. The constant has type
@code{int}, and its value is the character code of that character.
For instance, @code{'a'} represents the character code for the letter
@samp{a}: 97, that is.
To put the @samp{'} character (single quote) in the character
constant, @dfn{escape} it with a backslash (@samp{\}). This character
constant looks like @code{'\''}. The backslash character here
Is there a newer Texinfo release which fixes this?
