Due to the "----" lines surrounding this text, it is already formatted using a monospace font. More importantly, however, changing the quotes like this actually changes the meaning of the code snippet, and not in a good way (in fact in a potentially bad way since it tries to execute code inside the `...` rather than just assigning the content of '...' as a literal string to the variable $projectroot).
