Apostrophe in HERDOC
I have a table that is being built with HEREDOC. I am using CS6 Dreameaver. If I have an apostrophe I get and error...if I do this, the error goes away....
But the problem is that it also shows that way on the live web page. How can I handle this?

<p class="Place">Traditional <strong>Estonian cuisine</strong> has substantially been based on meat and potatoes, and on fish in coastal and lakeside areas, but is influenced by many other cuisines by now. In the present day, it includes a variety of international foods and dishes, with a number of contributions from the traditions of nearby countries. Scandinavian, German, Russian and other influences have played their part. The most typical foods in Estonia have been rye bread, pork, potatoes and dairy products.
</p>
<p class="Place">Soups are traditionally eaten before the main course and most often are made of meat or chicken stock mixed with a variety of vegetables. Soups are also blended with sour cream, milk and yogurt. A very specific type of Estonian soup is <em>leivasupp</em>, which is a type of sweet soup that is made of black bread and apples, normally served with sour cream or whipped cream, often seasoned with cinnamon and sugar.
</p>
<p class="Place">Pork and potatoes accompanied by a rich gravy and often served with sauerkraut or other vegetables has been the traditional Estonian main course. Pork has been the most important meat and is eaten roasted, cured as bacon, in the form of ham, or in pies and sausages. There are many other main dishes too. </p>
<p class="Place">Black rye bread accompanies almost every savory food in Estonia. Instead of wishing "bon appetit", Estonians are prone to say <em>jätku leiba</em> ("may your bread last"). Estonians continue to value their varieties of black rye-based bread. Estonia has not been a land of plenty. If a piece of bread was dropped on the floor, it was good form to pick it up, kiss it to show respect, and eat it. When Estonians live abroad, they often say that they miss black bread the most.</p></td>

<p class="Place">Lithuanian cuisine is pretty simple but has a variety of interesting dishes. Rye, potatoes, various meat, beet root, mushrooms and diary products are often used when preparing Lithuanian food. Because of their common heritage, Lithuanians, Poles, and Ashkenazi Jews share many dishes and beverages. Thus there are similar Lithuanian, Litvak, and Polish versions of dumplings (<em>koldunai</em>, kreplach or pierogi), doughnuts <em>spurgos</em> or (paczki), and <em>blynai</em> crepes (blintzes). German traditions also influenced Lithuanian cuisine, introducing pork and potato dishes, such as potato pudding (<em>kugelis</em> or kugel) and potato sausages (<em>vedarai</em>), as well as the baroque tree cake known as <em>Šakotis</em>. The most exotic of all the influences is Eastern (Karaite) cuisine, and the dishes <em>kibinai</em> and <em>ceburekai</em> are popular in Lithuania. Torte Napoleon was introduced during Napoleon"'"s passage through Lithuania.</p>

<p class="Place">Latvian cuisine typically consists of agricultural products, with meat featuring in most main meal dishes. Fish is commonly consumed due to Latvia"'"s location on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. Latvian cuisine has been influenced by neighboring countries in the Baltic region. Common ingredients in Latvian recipes are found locally, such as potatoes, wheat, barley, cabbage, onions, eggs and pork. Latvian food is generally quite fatty, and uses few spices.</p>

Yes, this works. However in Dreamweaver CS6 it now turns all text after it yellow instead of red. What does that mean?
I have no idea, I don't use Dreamweaver. Does it display properly in a real browser?
ASKER
Yes it does. I'm trying to find out why......still looking.
Thanks for the points. It's probably Dreamweaver 'helping' you.
