Hello,
Very small point, but I suggest yet another documentation fix...
At the bottom of page 11 of the Yaws documentation *.pdf, we find the line:
{html, io_lib:format("You say that you’re running ~p",
I would urge escaping the single quote as follows:
{html, io_lib:format("You say that you\’re running ~p",
Newbies like me need to learn good practice.
All the best (and thanks for providing Yaws and its documentation),
LRP

I don't see the point, why quote when it's not required. Actually,
it's wrong to quote here.
Eshell V5.7.5 (abort with ^G)
1> "a'a".
"a'a"
2> "a\'a".
"a'a"
3>

Hmm, there is something else at play here. Single tick, doesn't have to be quoted
in HTML, there is nothing special about that char. And
<erl>
out(_A) ->
{html, "ab'cd"}.
</erl>
and
<erl>
out(_A) ->
{html, "ab\'cd"}.
</erl>
Produces exactly the same output, and display fine in the browser. Fishy !!
