@psychelzh Oh my, it seems that our preview component does not handle ' correctly…

The named character reference ' (the apostrophe, U+0027) was introduced in XML 1.0 but does not appear in HTML. Authors should therefore use ' instead of ' to work as expected in HTML 4 user agents.

I’ve done this replacement in the current dev version and now the apostrophe is displayed correctly in the preview. One day, we’ll have a preview panel with better HTML capabilities.
