Thanks. I ended up adding this to the Makefile I use to generate the
PDFs:
# check for backquotes, which appear as single quotes
if grep -q '`' "$FILE"
then echo 'Backquotes found, replace with TeX Code \\char18'
exit 1
fi
It warns me about backquotes and suggests replacement with TeX Code
\\char18.
