How it appears in the output:

Problem:

The build/compile process is inserting a backslash immediately prior to each double-quote.

Workaround:

Use a single-quote character instead of the double-quote character; those publish correctly.

This is a bug, right?

I am advised...

This is happening while generating glossary file in output. Extra \\ is getting added as escape character. You can fix this in output by fixing the gdata1.new file in whxdata folder of output.

You will need to change the value in this file in output.

As earlier, this will be fixed in the next update.
