For the same reason explained in [1], don't do this. Due to the "----"
lines surrounding this text, it is already formatted using a monospace
font. More importantly, however, changing the quotes like this
actually changes the meaning of the code snippet, and not in a good
way (in fact in a potentially bad way since it tries to execute code
inside the `...` rather than just assigning the content of '...' as a
literal string to the variable $projectroot).
