If there is an apostrophe in the frontmatter it causes and invalid 'data' and 'content' values.

For example:

title: My Brother's Title author: Mike James

If there is an apostrophe in the frontmatter it causes and invalid 'data' and 'content' values. For example: --- title: My Brother's Title author: Mike James ---

Make sense. This is invalid YAML. Normally I change title to title: My Brother’s Title or quoting the title as title: "My Brother's Title"

~~Is there a way to have both single and double quotes in the value?~~

Found a way - you can escape a single quote by doubling it: title: 'My Brother'’s Title'
