   Format: MarkdownItexThen it might have been that the latest update to instiki (which appears to have fixed the apostrophe problem) happened in between. Or it's just one of those unexplained mysteries and we'll have to call on Scooby-Doo to solve it. *Scooby-Doo and the Case of Cauchy's Apostrophe*

    Format: MarkdownItexOh, that's odd. It works for me with Firefox on a Mac. Doesn't work with Chrome on a Mac, then I get a page about creating `Cauchy/'s mistake`. Same for Safari on a Mac. I'm verging on classing this as a WebKit bug. When I view the source in Safari then the link is clearly displayed as `http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Cauchy\'s mistake`. However, if I do "Copy Link" and paste the link somewhere then I get `http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Cauchy/'s%20mistake`. Note the forward slash! Firefox, on the other hand, seems to escape the slash when copying as I get `http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Cauchy%5C%27s%20mistake` when I copy the link from Firefox and that's the correct backslash.
