Using apostrophes in comic names...

Post by Grayswandir »

It seems to replace the apostophes (apostophees? apostrofees?) with "apos?;" on the Guide page, the comic page itself, and in the listings. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or can you just not use apostrophes? If I've already posted about this before I apologize, but I can't find the post...

my suggestion would be to avoid using the apostrophies, the problem is that a single quote and double quote are illegal characters in attributes, so a href="whatever" is valid, while having an apos makes it illegal. The way around it is to escape it with & but some web browsers dont replace it. (There is also a unicode version that does not always work)
