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.
