[tex4ht] [bug #241] grave accent letter ` (hex 60) changes to left single quotation mark (hex 0xE2 0x80 0x98)

[Michal Hoftich]

I will repost my answer on TeX.sx. This is not a bug, but default
LaTeX behaviour:

------------

This is the default behaviour, you will get the same result even with
`pdflatex`. You can use `upquote` package to redefine grave and
upright-quote to produce correct glyphs:

    \documentclass[12pt]{article}
    \usepackage{upquote}
    \begin{document}
    `123`

    \verb|`123`|
    \end{document}

the result:

    <!--l. 6--><p class="noindent" >‘123‘
    </p><!--l. 8--><p class="indent" >   <span
class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
    class="cmtt-12">`123`</span></span></span> </p>

---------

Best regards,
Michal
