# Example Quote Error

## In the text:

This is Renzo's code.

Debian's lintian returns the following warning: acute-accent-in-manual-page

This manual page uses the ' groff sequence. Usually, the intent to generate an apostrophe, but that sequence actually renders as a an acute accent.

For an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '. For single opening quote, i.e. a straight downward line ' like the one used in shell commands, use \(aq.

## Basic code block

The situation is even worse when there are code blocks, mainly code chunks or commands. E.g., copy-paste fails.

Type the following command `echo 'Hello World'`.

    $ echo 'hello world'

The following code cannot be compiled:

    int main() {
    	int example = 42;
    	switch (example) {
    		case 'a': return 10;
    		default: return 42;
    	}
    }
