Looks like the are lost in the sgml. I'm forwarding this to the docs list.

Hmm. Looks like they were replaced with <literal> tags, which is not
the same thing. How many of these are there? How should we get this
fixed up? The right way is probably to mark up with
<quote><literal>...</literal></quote>
but one could just put in the double quote character instead of the
<quote>.
Should I make a stab at changing the markup, or does someone who knows
more about Java want to do it? The relevant file is
doc/src/sgml/jdbc.sgml.

I'll take a look at it tonight, and commit the changes from here.
