Syntax highlighting is broken in code samples

Hi,

A lot of the code samples seem to have broken syntax highlighting. For
example, the first code sample on this page
http://lamsonproject.org/docs/deferred_processing_to_queues.html is almost
entirely colored orange, indicating a string, even though it's not supposed
to be that way. Having seen a few code samples, I think the problem is that
somehow the quotes have been replaced with their pretty HTML versions. The
following string replacements should do (I think):

’ -> '
” -> "

Hopefully this should work, it would definitely make reading the code
samples more pleasing to the eye.

Also, @ and [ ] disappear from some examples too. Pretty sure I spotted a
bug in fossil about it, would be nice to see it fixed.
