alltt in PDF to give ASCII 96 (backquote), not U+2018












1















When I convert the MWE below to PDF (using pdflatex) all occurrences of the backquotes cut-and-paste out of the PDF as U+2018 (a "curly backquote") rather than U+0060 (an ASCII backquote, or backtick character).



Is there any way of giving users of the documentation something that will cut-and-paste in the way I want? I do need it to be in the alltt environment (or similar) to get layout and ability to insert various commands.



documentclass{article}
usepackage{alltt}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

newcommand{bq}{char'140}
begin{document}

begin{alltt}
`hello`
bq{}worldbq{}
end{alltt}

For reference (I need it in the alltt environment or similar): bq{}hello, worldbq

end{document}


The usepackage[T1]{fontenc} is there because I attempted to follow the advice for the listing package in How to make sure I get regular ASCII quotes in code examples when using `listings`

          Short answer:



          `{}


          If you want to use the T1 encoding, this works:



          documentclass[varwidth=10cm, preview]{standalone}
          usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
          usepackage{textcomp}
          usepackage{alltt}

          % In T1, the backtick is encoded as "00
          DeclareTextSymbol{bt}{T1}{"00}

          begin{document}
          begin{alltt}
          This is a grave accent, or backtick: bt. So is this: `{}.
          end{alltt}
          end{document}


          Font sample



          The T1 encoding has a different layout than ASCII.



          If you want to use Unicode (whose first 128 characters are the same as ASCII), you can load fontspec and then either use symbol{"0060}, or turn off Ligatures = TeX.



          `{}


          still works in either OT1, T1 or TU, so it’s your best bet.
