This is a problem. Since now when I copy the above from
the HTML page to Matlab, it gives error. Since now it is
no longer a string.

The problem seems to be that ' has unicode  but
this is also the same code for Right Single Quotation Mark?

So why does it appear as ’ on the web page, when inside
the plain text file it appears as '   ?

And what should one do to keep '  showing as ' in HTML?

Here is MWE

Why make4ht changes ' to  Right Single Quotation Mark \verb|?
It also does it in \verb|'| and verbatim:

\begin{verbatim}
x='this is string'
\end{verbatim}

\end{document}

Compiled using make4ht foo.tex

This is what the HTML looks like

--


x=thisisstring

Even when I compile using

make4ht -u foo.tex

The problem is still there

x=’this is string’

What do I need to do to keep apostrophe as apostrophe
in the HTML?

Using tex4ht 2017 on Linux.

Thanks

Sorry, I meant to also send link to this web page which has
the codes

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html

But it says above that "U+0027 APOSTROPHE" and then it says
later

"U+2019RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK ’
this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe"

This is all so confusing to me.  I just need ' to remain
' in the HTML.

Thanks

[tex4ht] [bug #376] Biblatex 3.10

[Karl Berry]

Update of bug #376 (project tex4ht):

 Open/Closed:Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

it would not seem so difficult to me to do the version number checking
differently, but anyway, i agree we might as well just eliminate the old code,
at least until there's a problem. i pushed this to tl (a couple days ago) ...
--thanks, k.

[tex4ht] [bug #376] Biblatex 3.10

Details:

tex4ht is broken with Biblatex 3.10, as reported on TeX.sx [1]. The issue is
that this version executes code intended  for Biblatex version < 3.4. It seems
that the version checking code is quite fragile and it breaks quite often.
Moreover, we can expect that if someone uses up to date tex4ht version, he
also uses up to date Biblatex. So I've removed the obsolete code and updated
the sources.
