I don't know with which piece of software the fault lies so I am taking
the liberty of CC'ing all the affected projects in order to get a
solution. If you don't want to be included just ask.

In the PDF "example" has fancy quotes one upside down whereas "example 2"
has fancy quotes but of only one type. Furthermore chktex complains that
double quotes should not be used.
In lynx I have simply:
``Example'' "Example 2"
This is also the case when viewing the raw HTML (which I am attaching).
Annoyingly, the fancy quotes prevent the PDF from being viewed over the
command line via less (which is what I expect several people to view my
document with).
My LANG env is set to C and my terminal is mrxvt.
So chktex and pdflatex and latex2html cannot all be acting correctly
here.
Thanks,
David
