Section3.348 Single-Quote Character
Summary0000955: Typo '\".
DescriptionJust a bit of typo here. It appears to be '\" which is

<single-quote> <backslash ><double-quote>

here, when it should've been '\'' which is

<single-quote> <backslash> <single-quote> <single-quote>

And I've checked C138.pdf, it doesn't seem to have this problem.
Desired ActionJust a bit of typo fixing, change

The character designated by '\" in the C language, also known as <apostrophe>.

to

The character designated by '\'' in the C language, also known as <apostrophe>.

The same issue occurs in 3.16 Apostrophe Character

The html edition has been updated including the html download bundles.

There is a separate error in the pdf edition, where the typographical conventions use a different glyph on pages xvii and xviii to the main body. The PDF has been refreshed and redistributed to The Open Group catalog for C138 and the Austin Group login page area.

Marking as applied, as the change have been made to update the html bundle and the PDF edition.

The current quoting is not easily searchable in a pdf reader.

See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2008-06/msg00001.html

This suggests we recode the macros to use \(aq instead of the literal '

We should consider this for the next build of the merged document

Reopening so we know we still have to address for our pdf builds

A number of changes have been made to the draft and build macros.

The quotes around characters (generated by the .cH macro) are now the right ones.

In addition other sections of the draft have been updated for example

XBD 3.16 Apostrophe Character

XBD 3.352 Single-Quote Character

XBD 6.1 - the glyph for <apostrophe> in the table

XSH fprintf, fwprintf - description of apostrophe flag

plus everywhere in example code between .Cs and .Ce lines.
