The following verbatim section:
\begin{verbatim}
$ curl -i -G -X POST \
'http://localhost:8888/deploy' \
--data-urlencode 'name=z' \
--data-urlencode 'code=function f(event, callback){callback(null, 3)}'
{"newFile":"functions/z.js"}%
\end{verbatim}
Is displayed as:
Note that the quotes around 'http://localhost:8888/deploy' and all other single-quoted texts are converted to ’http://localhost:8888/deploy’, which of course breaks the code when it is copy-pasted to a terminal, editor or IDE.
Is there a way to tell verbatim to use the exact characters of the source, without prettifying any characters?

'character is not straight but it is a'and should cut and paste as such. – David Carlisle Apr 18 '17 at 21:48
