Hi Frederic,Texinfo modified its behavior regarding apostrophes, which are now replaced by UTF-8 right single quotes by default. Sorry to hear it, but not surprised. -GNU's Not Unix. +@verb{.GNU's Not Unix..} I don't think there's any guarantee that verb quotes will also be "helpfully" changed in the future. One wouldn't think so, but ...
There has to be some way to get a straight quote, and verbatim is (as far as I can tell) intended for code examples and similar literal text. Note that TeX has long (always?) converted backtick and apostrophe to left and right quotes, building up double quotes from `` and '', so this change in Texinfo harmonizes Info output with what texinfo.tex has always produced. (There have been a few places in the DejaGnu manual where I have converted ASCII double quotes to TeX style because regular double quotes look seriously out of place in the PDF version.)
So instead, I changed the test document to avoid apostrophes. Pushed the below. Hope it flies. --thanks, karl.
Since this is a test document, that should not be a problem. -- Jacob
