Hi,
Probably this is a pedantic post...
On the introduction of LXF 156, now on LXF's homepage, there are several grave accent (`) used as apostrophe ('). Frankly, it looks quite bad. Could you correct that?
Thanks,
Javier

They'll have to get out the tip-ex and recall them all!

The problem arises because some software has - since ASCII days - interpreted the grave as an opening single quote (a character that does not appear in the ASCII sequence because using opening single quotes is an English, not a US, habit). So if the same text is copied to a piece of software that interprets the grave literally, you get this result.
I have found that LyX/LaTeX users can avoid this by exporting via HTML which converts all the grave accents in LaTeX to opening single quotes.
