To not get confused with (C- or shell-)string literals, I prefer to
use ``blah''. (info uses `blah', and here is an (arbitrary?) quote from
the bash man-page:
| PS1 The value of this parameter is expanded (see PROMPTING below)
| and used as the primary prompt string. The default value is
| ``\s-\v\$ ''.
)
: And the arbitrary use of ticks `
Those <`> are called back-ticks... (and there is nothing arbitrary
about my use of them, IMHO.)
I did accidently start my quotes with <''>, not <``>. Sorry about that.
