apostrophe in a verbatim enviroment

apostrophe in a verbatim enviroment

[Alan Bowen]

Is it possible to get an apostrophe to typeset as a vertical mark  
( ' ) rather than a curved mark ( ’ ) when using \starttyping and  
MKII? I am trying to get the old “typewriter” look for a brief stretch  
of text.

Alan

See

for a possible solution. See Taco's and Hans's mails in the thread for 
other options.

Thanks, Aditya. This is a good start. The problem is that I need this  
to work with \starttyping...\stoptyping because there are spacing and  
line-breaking issues as well.

Right now:

\starttext
\catcode`'=\active
\def'{\raise.6em\hbox{\char13}}

\starttyping
      202'906
202'096
\stoptyping

\tt
      202'906
202'096
\stoptext

gives me the layout I want or the apostrophe (char13) I need, but not  
both at the same time.

You can add this line to make \starttyping work:

   \appendtoks \catcode`'=\active \to\everysetupverbatim

And a (perhaps unneeded) hint: if you don't want a perpetually
active ', the two lines above can be written as:

   \begingroup
   \catcode`'=\active
   \gdef'{\raise.6em\hbox{\char13}}
   \endgroup


Best wishes,
Taco

Many thanks, Taco, that works perfectly. I have been typesetting this  
book for my brother and that was the last knot to be untied before  
sending it off.

Very best, Alan

PS Your tact in phrasing your hint is also much appreciated! 8-)
