How do you make apostrophe's in Wishlists?

I'm trying to make a wishlist for an episode of a show called "Howard's New Life". I've figured out how to make quote marks, but I can't find a button which will make an apostrophe.

Does anyone know how it's done?

I'm not sure but I believe if you just do "Howards New Life" in quotes you should be good.

Can anyone authoritatively confirm or deny Smark's suggestion? I had always thought whatever goes into quotes has to be as meticulous as a URL address.

Apostrophes are ignored, as are most other punctuation characters. An exception is the dollar sign, which is treated as if it were S. This is explained in the manual.

I can't confirm 100%, but I remember having to do this once, and I'm 98.5% sure that it worked just like Smark said.

Er, I meant all three of you.

Don't worry about missing me... I'm always late with info that isn't that reliable anyway. ;)

There are some good tips concerning using punctuation in a Wishlist in this article on our support site:

But, as pointed out in the thread Title Wish List Help - "Location, Location"?, those published rules don't completely work for some titles.
