The description text is not truncated in the regular gallery page display, however....</p> <p>Any thoughts?<br /> I'm guessing that the single-prime mark interferes with the PHP string that is passed for the Description field causing the rest of the text to be ignored?.....</p> <p>I have tested it, and if you take the time to enter the Alt codes for ‘real’ curly quotes anytime you need an apostrophe, the problem is fixed. Double-quotes that are rendered as double-primes when typed directly from the keyboard do not cause the truncation...</p> <p>You should probably enter the Alt codes for real typography anyway for quality's sake, but when working on large numbers of images, it's just very time-consuming..... </p>
