Backtick in Code

[wcunning]

The backtick character (from above tilde on a standard US keyboard) does not appear in minted environments, despite the "verbatim" nature of things. This especially frustrating in that I am writing course materials on the Verilog HDL, which uses backtick for preprocessor statements. Is there a way to force this character to be formatted as itself in minted environments?

This is probably more of a LaTeX font issue than a minted issue. You need to load the upquote package to prevent LaTeX from interpreting the backtick character in verbatim environments as the left quote character.

That did in fact fix things. I might suggest that a comment of that form make it into the documentation, since both backtick and the also-complained-about tilde are used in a number of programming languages. Thanks for the quick response and successful workaround!

The tilde issue is already in the FAQ in the docs on GitHub, and I've added the backticks to the FAQ for the next release.
