The problem with quote here is per the American English grammar the
punctuation should be inside the quote, but the computer doesn't
actually output a punctuation.

So here we use <computeroutput> which should be rendered in a different
style than the normal texts.  If your browser fails to render them in
different styles it's either buggy or misconfigured.  Even Lynx uses
different colors.
