[9front] Are backticks rendered properly on fqa7?

[9front] Are backticks rendered properly on fqa7?

[jrmu]

Greetings,

Today I noticed that the backtick operator kept appearing as some other
type of quote on this page:

http://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html

When I run hget http://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html  < htmlfmt -a, I see
this:

Port 25 is disabled by default. Enable it by creating the file
/rc/bin/service/tcp25:

#!/bin/rc

user=‘{cat /dev/user}

exec /bin/upas/smtpd -s -e -n $3

# to use with listen1, change $3 to $net

However the line should be

user=`{cat /dev/user}

This caused a bug for me where I got the weird greeting 'none220 inter9.org ESMTP'
in my banner.

I checked fqa7.ms and the text seems to be using backticks, so perhaps
it's being rendering improperly.

htmlroff changed the ` in fqa7.ms into what you see in fqa7.html. the fix was to escape all instances of ` in the .ms files.
