Bug: Invisible link

In for example this page: "I Want" Song, the links to the I Am Song page https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IAmSong are invisible. There isn't even a blank space.

"I Am" Song

ETA: Doesn't work here either.

There's a bug meaning some titles with double quotes in are blanked out. Currently those custom titles are being broken to just display as, in this case I Am Song rather than "I Am" Song; this will let it show whilst a proper fix is being made.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I wonder if the issue could be resolved by using two apostrophes instead of actual quotation marks.

It seems like the problem can be worked around by using unicode slanted double-quotes, as with E. E. "Doc" Smith. It seems that it has to be standard unicode, though, which is often a problem for people using MS systems, since MS thinks standards are something that happens to other people.

It would be nice if Eddie ever got around to making normal double quotes (and ampersands) work again, but until then...

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

I can still type this: "Main.I Am Song", but not this: ""I Am" Song". I wonder when it will be fixed. sad

I hate to double-post, but it's been a few weeks now and so far nothing has been done on the invisible ink link. sad

It even uses the smart quotes, too... I still think [up][up][up][up] should be tried.

I also hate to double post, but I just saw that Manos: The Hands of Fate uses regular quotation marks and shows up just fine. This is one really weird bug.
