Friedrich is right. In fact -log2html- zaps
the apostrophe deliberately. At this moment
I can't recall why it does this -- whether
it is a feature from some point of view or
that was just some misguided notion on our
part. If my co-authors can't recall either,
then we will fix it. For the moment Friederich
has shown a work-around.
