Description _ gsporar 2006-03-30 16:16:29 UTC 
When I use Print to HTML with the attached source file, I get the attached HTML
file, which uses '

Is ' legal HTML?  Firefox renders it okay, but InternetExplorer (IE) 6 does
not.  :-(  Seems unfortunate that the IDE generates HTML that can't be rendered
correctly by InternetExplorer.

It seems the 'apos' is standard html/xhtml entity, see e.g.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-special.ent . The issue is probably on
IE's side.
Comment 4 _ ttran 2006-04-14 11:23:16 UTC 
Perhaps it's IE bug.  But if we can workaround it easily, like using hexa code
for apos, then we should do it.  Not many users complain, but the cost of the
fix is low

The ' is still used in a dev build.
Comment 6 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-03-22 11:16:10 UTC 
Using ' instead of '. I am not sure if the fix make any sense. IE7 can
probably handle ' correctly, plus I actually don't understand why we need
to escape apostroph and quote charactres at all. They can't do any harm when
enclosed by <span>...</span>, can they? Anyway, here's the fix.
