Component:  General  |     Version:  2.2.3                                           
 Severity:  normal   |    Keywords:  title character escape apostrophe "single quote"
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 If the title of the weblog contains an apostrophe, the apostrophe is
 prefixed with a backslash whenever the "General options" are updated.

 For example, if your title is John's Blog, this becomes John\'s Blog.

 Removing the backslash doesn't work as it is simply added again.

 A work-around is to enter the apostrophe as a smart quote or as the entity
 ’
 This is how apostrophes are always displayed anyway. However, this is not
 very user-friendly, and people who aren't in the know would not think to
 try it.
