Good evening,

Is there a written/unwritten rule for using quotation marks? Do man pages and 
web pages follow the same rules?

When would I use 'this', "this", `this', ``this'', “this“, etc.?

I guess this can be both a source problem as well as a display problem.

Any suggestions regarding reasonable expectations for web page/man page 
consistency?

U+0022  QUOTATION MARK  "
U+0027  APOSTROPHE      '
U+0060  GRAVE ACCENT    `
U+00B4  ACUTE ACCENT    ´ 
U+2018  LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK      ‘
U+2019  RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK     ’
U+201C  LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK      “
U+201D  RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK     ”

Many thanks.

Rob
