using Less commands

[Steve Holmes]

I think what you would do is after hitting m to set a mark, hit
another letter of your choice.  Say for this example, use letter 'a'
without the ''.  Then when you go to that bookmark later, type the '
key followed by the letter a.  That's how I see it; I could be wrong
but...  Give it a go.
