Problem with bookmarklet – JavaScript in href inside <a> tag

I was blogging about some bookmarkets I like and I was trying to procide links so that my readers could save them too.

I noted a problem with some of the links I provided. At first I thought it only happens with bookmarklets that have an URL insite HREF, as the links get truncated when published. But then I noticed it happens with any bookmarklet that has an URL inside single quotes.

For example:

The bookmarklet from pdfdownload.org is

javascript:void(window.open(‘https://www.pdfdownload.org/web2pdf/Default.aspx?left=0&right=0&top=0&bottom=0&page=0&cURL=’+document.location.href));

And this one from Migre.me, a Brazilian URL shortener:

javascript:void(location.href='https://migre.me/atalho/'+escape(location.href));

Both of them have an URL inside single quotes. When you write the link, the code will look like this:

<a href="javascript:void(location.href='https://migre.me/atalho/'+escape(location.href));">Migre.me</a>

So, it’ll have a javascript code between double quotes with an URL between single quotes in it.

The problem is that when I publish it, the SECOND SINGLE QUOTE is automatically changed by a DOUBLE QUOTE. So, when hovering through the link, I have only:

<a href="javascript:void(location.href='https://migre.me/atalho/

Of course it doesen’t work.

Am I doing something wrong? I didn’t do this bookmarklets myself, just copied them from their websites. Is there any way around this?

Thanks a lot. I’m already VERY tired of googling for this since last night.
