   Apostrophe characters (', same as single quote) are replaced by double quotes (") in title attribute f entries links. If I insert a link like:
   El Zoo d'en <a href="http://whatever.com" title="Zoo d'en Pitus">Pitus</a>
   I get
   El Zoo d'en <a href="http://whatever.com" title="Zoo d"en Pitus">Pitus</a>
   Which breaks HTML code.

   I have been searching this forum and Google for a solution but found no definitive solution (disabling wptexturize doesn't seems to solve the problem). Any ideas?

   You can try using
   

   '

   for the apostrophe in the title ... it's a bit clunky but should work.

   I don't think it would work. I tried using
   &#039; but & (ampersand) char is replaced by its HTML entity &amp; and I get
   El Zoo d'en <a href="http://whatever.com" title="Zoo d&amp;#039;en Pitus">Pitus</a>

   did you try a slash? Perhaps it's some weird PHP parsing thing:

   Zoo d\'en Pitus

   Yes, I tried the slash, and then I get the slash displayed too.

   What's the code displaying this in your theme?

   It should be:

   <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>

   greenshady, I am talking about links included as part of posts content. The HTML title attribute of those links is the problem (if there's an apostrophe in it).
