Single Quotes in code block gets replaced to '

I have to add lot of javascript code snippets and curl commands to my notes collection and they extensively use single quotes. Sadly, all my single quotes are being replaced by '

Expected behavior

Single quotes are displayed as single quotes

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new markdown note with a code block containing single quotes.

Environment

• Version : 0.11.8 (0.11.8)
• OS Version and name : Mac Os Sierra (10.12.6 )

I've been having this problem for some days too. Same version and OS.

I'm having a similar problem... I'm getting escaped question marks too... Same version, but running on Windows 10

Tried some debugging and following are my observations:

1. The issue is happening only when the code block is closed by . So temporary workaround will be to remove the closing However this works only if there's no text below your code block.

2. The issue is because the special characters are replaced using HTML encoding here: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/blob/master/browser/components/MarkdownPreview.js#L451 Removing the encoding step, the special characters $<>'? are rendered correctly.
