Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

Hi.
I’m using this in an article form to output some footer links in a ul:

<li><txp:permlink title='<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format="since" />'><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>

…which outputs something like this on hover (article title in this case is I like hot toast):

I like hot toast was posted 4 hours ago

This is great, and exactly what I was expecting. However, if title contains an apostrophe, the hover now looks like this (article title in this case is I ate Stef's hot toast):

I ate Stef’s hot toast was posted 3 hours ago

Which is not so great. Is there a way to change the ' to an apostrophe? I was wondering if rah_replace would do it, but it seems a little overkill for the task.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

If rah_replace is already installed on the site, it’s fine to use it here. Otherwise, I can not find anything better than title='<txp:php>echo str_replace("&#39 ;", "''", title(array()));</txp:php> was posted <txp:posted format="since" />'

Edit: delete the space between &#39 and ;, textile is stronger than me.

Re: Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

Thank you, Oleg — rah_replace is already installed, so I’ll go ahead and use that.

Re: Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

or use double quotes

<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="<txp:title />" ><txp:title /></a>

but then the title should be no double quotes.. :)

Hi makss.
Thank you for your reply. The problem I have with double quotes is parsing <txp:posted format="since" /> as it contains double quotes and is important to the output. I can’t test it right now, but would this work:

<li><txp:permlink title=”<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format=‘since’ />”><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>

Yes, it works, and that’s amazing. Not this one, but

<a href="<txp:permlink />" title="<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format='since' />" ><txp:title /></a>

will.

Re: Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

Sorry, I was too fast. Actually, this one works too:

<txp:permlink title="<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format='since' />"><txp:title /></txp:permlink>

Txp parser does marvels.

Re: Apostrophes/single quotes in article titles

<txp:permlink title="<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format='since' />"><txp:title /></txp:permlink>

That shouldn’t be working, AFAIK.
Parsing tags in tags require simple quotes (at least, for a one-level depth).
The above line should be:

<txp:permlink title='<txp:title /> was posted <txp:posted format="since" />'><txp:title /></txp:permlink>

Thanks, Julián, that’s good to know — exactly what I was using in my opening post.

That’s what I thought too, but I’m testing and retesting – it works. Could somebody confirm?
