Code block turns ' into '

[fabiante]

Current behavior

Currently this code block (replace ´´´ with ```):

´´´sql
select count(*)
from ARBEITET
where FIRMA = 'Lübecker Bank';
´´´

will be parsed to this:

Expected behavior

I'd expect this as outcome:

select count(*)
from ARBEITET
where FIRMA = 'Lübecker Bank';

Environment

• OS Version and name : Windows 10

I don't have Windows 10 but I checked on OSX and it's working fine there so it may be related to Windows only

Is there any way to get my configuration file? Maybe it's worth comparing mine to yours if I have different options (which I shouldn't since I didn't change mine, but worth a try).

@fabiante your configuration file is located at %appdata%/Boostnote/preferences (which is a json file). Maybe that helps :)

edit: I'm not sure if i am correct but i think there is a known issue reporting this "unneeded/double escaping" of some signs..

[fabiante]

Hmm. My config doesn't look that helpful.
Any idea why this ocurrs?

Hi @fabiante
I'm not sure but it might be possible that the issue is even fixed and will be shipped with the next release.
Have a look at this (already merged) PR: #2230

[hevi1991]

I got that problem in MacOS-10.13.4 too.
It happen when I copy code from other software.

and I got problem like this:

 ''
 $$

I can't put my JavaScript code note in markdown.

[fabiante]

@ehhc That seems to be the correct fix. Since #2217 is closed I'd like to keep this issue open until the update is released to prevent further issues of this nature.

i get the same issue also
version: boostnote_0.11.8_amd64
os: ubuntu 16.04

if i write a code block that contains like var='test' than i see var=&apostest&apos, this happens in both types of content: snips and markdown type content

any idea to correct this issue ?

[AysadKozanoglu]

for me i solved it
i installed the version v0.11.9-pre.1
now highlighting for ' works correct

Too bad pre-releases don't have Windows versions, I'd like to test if the issue is gone as well.

Like others, I'm having the issue with 0.11.8 on Windows 10. When entering special characters in between triple ticks, some get escaped, like $ becomes \$.
