the {hidden} {/hidden} command is supposed to hide text (replace curly barackets with square ones)

And the text is supposed to appear when you mouse over it...

But if the hidden text contains an apostrophe it doesnt appear

the repeat of this line below below has its instance of "its"spelt right:

Also, hidden doesn't work at all if there is a line return in the text, making it very hard to hide a lot of stuff when you want nice formatting:

Here is a line return which stops this hidden working->

Yes, but it would better if Russ and Chris just fixed their script. Not escaping quotes is a school boy error for coders, they should be ashamed!

That's great! Thanks Daemon
I agree that the RHP coders should automate this

however line returns still break hidden (but not bold and italic for some reason)
And they can&#039;t be escaped
