UK TeX FAQ -- question label upquot

### Realistic quotes for verbatim listings

The `cmtt` font has "curly" quotes, which are pleasing on the eye, but don't really tally with what one sees on a modern xterm\nothtml{ (which look like \texttt{\char18 this\char13})}.

The appearance of these quotes is critical in program listings, particularly in those of Unix-like shell scripts. The upquote package modifies the behaviour of the `verbatim` environment so that the output is a clearer representation of what the user must type.
