Bug: Asymetric Character Escaping

There is a bug in at least the ‘links’ configuration section. When one creates a link with a single quote (‘) character everything works fine. However, when bringing this link back up with the ‘Edit’ feature the link’s quote characters are escaped with a backslash (\). If one then saves any changes to the link, the Word Press code then escapes out both the backslash and the single quote again. Thus, we end up with this in the links page:

Intended: Scott’s Home
Displayed: Scott\’s Home
Internal: Scott\\\’s Home

In summary, the code that reproduces the link in the edit box should probably not display the escape characters that are internally being used to store special characters. This probably applies to a lot more than just a single quote!

Thanks,
Scott
