 If you insert an image into a post and have an apostrophe in the title or
 caption, such as:

 {{{
 Title: It's a title
 Caption: It's a caption
 }}}

 Then the underlying HTML that ends up in the post will have the link's
 title attribute like so:

 {{{
 title="It\'s a title"
 }}}

 and the image's alt attribute as:

 {{{
 alt="It\'s a caption"
 }}}

 Note the addition of the backslash in both cases. This is as a result of
 the ''media_send_to_editor'' function (in wp-admin/includes/media.php)
 calling ''addslashes'' when it sends the HTML to the editor. I'm sure that
 ''addslashes'' is there for good reason so I suspect the fix might be
 somewhat trickier than simply removing the call.
