   special characters in title and description are not transformed :
   $output .= "<meta property='og:title' content='" . htmlspecialchars($title) . "' />";
   $output .= "<meta property='og:description' content='" . htmlspecialchars($description) . "' />";

   like
   content='Saunier Duval : fabricant d'appareils de chauffage et la chaudière à gaz' />

   @brokensite,

   This is definitely a bug. I'll look into addressing this in the next release.

   Thanks.

   Thanks for your response, I have tried to modify that but it did not work.

   As I have mention above content='" . htmlspecialchars($title) . "'

   doesn't really transform and that has a negative impact on SEO and sharing.

   Do you have any suggestion to modify the output ?

   Thanks

   @brokensite,

   Did htmlspecialchars($title) work for you? I'm not sure this would affect the SEO since escaping values in HTML is pretty standard.

   Have you tried escaping the apostrophe with slashes?

   Thanks.
