At first glance, it appears to be a bug with Bing. When you save a page and go back to it in GetSimple does the character still appear?

Hello Matthew,

Yes it appear but I think it's not a bug with Bing because... When I look the source code, it's the same problem.

Code:
<meta name="description" content="Ayez un site Web efficace et d&eacute;veloppez votre chiffre daffaire !

For the moment, the site is only present in Bing. I wait for Google and Yahoo to see if the problem appear again...

the name of that character is "Apostrophe" and as it is used in programming languages it should be escaped to survive the functions ;=)

It's because we strip out quotes because that can cause problems if left in: http://code.google.com/p/get-simple-cms/source/browse/trunk/admin/inc/theme_functions.php#296

Thinking about this now, maybe we should change it to encode quotes instead of removing them...

Thanks for your reply Smile

It's not a big "bug" because it's only with description. For the title, text, etc... No problem Smile

agreed... the original thinking was, what if some creates an HTML meta tag like this:

Code:
<meta name='description' content='ada's asdfasfdsf asdfasdf sdf d' />

it breaks... and maybe even potentially breaks the whole page.

Same bug is with Russian - if Meta Description field left blank while creating a post, we get buggy symbols in meta
