What does a double backtick/grave (``) mean in c++ documentation?

Question

I am learning c++ and am reading this from c-faq.com. Frequently, when referring to an unknown element, the author will preface the name of the element with ``.

What does that mean? I'm vaguely familiar with * or & before a variable or function but not ``.

Thanks!

They are double quotes:

``Start of quote. Quote end''

It is a format for TeX, see here.
