Forum OpenACS Q&A: Problem quoting escaped quotes

HTML files containing the string [backslash single-quote single-quote]
can't be inserted into /admin/static/static-syncer-ns-set.tcl

Nor, it seems, can they be inserted into /bboard, which is why the
above reads [backslash single-quote single-quote] rather than the
actual string.

I'm posting this in the forum rather than in SDM because the impact
could well be wider.

I'm running 3.2.4 (tried CVS, but too slow and noticed on cvsweb that
nothing seems to have been committed recently anyway) on a fresh
install with aolserver 3.1 and postgres 7.0.2+subquery patch.
