 To construct tokens, characters are distinguished according to the following 
 classes (Unicode general category given in parentheses):
 
-1. Whitespace characters. `\u0020 | \u0009 | \u000D | \u000A`
-1. Letters, which include lower case letters(Ll), upper case letters(Lu),
-   titlecase letters(Lt), other letters(Lo), letter numerals(Nl) and the 
-   two characters \\u0024 ‘\\$’ and \\u005F ‘_’, which both count as upper case 
-   letters
-1. Digits `‘0’ | … | ‘9’`
-1. Parentheses `‘(’ | ‘)’ | ‘[’ | ‘]’ | ‘{’ | ‘}’ `
-1. Delimiter characters ``‘`’ | ‘'’ | ‘"’ | ‘.’ | ‘;’ | ‘,’ ``

 There are three ways to form an identifier. First, an identifier can
 start with a letter which can be followed by an arbitrary sequence of
-letters and digits. This may be followed by underscore ‘_’
+letters and digits. This may be followed by underscore `‘_’`
 characters and another string composed of either letters and digits or
 of operator characters.  Second, an identifier can start with an operator 
 character followed by an arbitrary sequence of operator characters.
