Ordinarily I would file a website bug, but this happens so often I'm mentioning it here to hopefully stop others from doing it, too.

Please don't use fancy quotes or the fancy apostrophe for code examples on your webpage. It looks out-of-place with the rest of the fixed width font and, most importantly, it stops folks from being able to copy-and-paste your examples into their terminal or editor.



Sounds like a browser level or OS level plugin could be useful to check paste buffers and swap to|from fancy quotes.
