Bug description

In section 1.8 (Pretty-printing and parsing), the code samples result in various toplevel errors.
According to Rémi Vanicat's message on ocaml_beginners ML of the 02 May 2011:

" The first problem is a lacking #load "dynlink.cma";; before
the #load "camlp4o.cma";; Then there is an encoding problem: the ' in
parser should be the ' char and not the ??? char. "

Are you sure about the encoding problem? Just adding the missing #load seems to fix the problem here.

No, I'm not. Looking at it again I cannot find any encoding problem. I'm reporting your question to Rémi on the beginners list; feel free to close the bug if it's fixed after the #load, and I will reopen it if there is an actual issue with the encoding.

After another look I think I've understood the problem: apostrophes are encoded with "’", but should be "'" or even simpler "'"
Copy and pasting with forefox works as expected, but maybe some other browser might output a different character?

Please reopen if the encoding problem is real.

The encoding problem is confirmed. The example displays correctly, but when you copy and paste it to a terminal, the ' character is not an ASCII quote.

Encoding problem fixed in trunk [3.13.0] (commit 12157).
