Characters not Allowed

It seems that if you have a custom title with an apostrophe ' and you try and save the page, you get an error page. Why can't we have apostrophes in the title? Is there any way to allow them?

Title not work with 1.16.0

I tested it with 1.16.0. The page title part worked well, but it seems do nothing to header title tag.

How do I change the tag <title> on on certain pages? Is there an alternative?

Modification that works with 1.16.0

A small trick that does the job with 1.16.0:

   function onSkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec(&$m_skinTemplate, &$m_tpl)
   {
       if (isset($this->customTitle))
           $m_tpl->set('title', $this->customTitle);
       if (isset($this->customPageTitle)) {
           $m_tpl->set('pagetitle', $this->customPageTitle);
           $text = $m_tpl->data['headelement'];
           $regex = "#(\<title\>)(.*)(\<\/title\>)#e";
           $customtitle = $this->customPageTitle;
           $title = "'<title>'.'$customtitle'.'</title>'";
           $text = preg_replace($regex,$title,$text);
           $m_tpl->set('headelement', $text);
       }
       return true;
   }

How to remove the customtitle text (xxx-CustomTitleStart-xxx) from appearing in search results

This is a very important extension that I can't operate without it in my website. However, although it does modify the title of the page to what i want it to appear. in search results the cache of all my pages has "xxx-CustomTitleStart-xxx". this happenes whther I put it in template or standalone, the cache of pages will have that which appears first in description during search results. Can someone please let me know a work around or if this can be fixed?

Parse error: syntax error CustomTitle.php on line 66

Sometimes after adding the customtitle start I get this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/........../extensions/CustomTitle.php(66) : regexp code on line 1

Fatal error: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Failed evaluating code: '<title>'.'- My title here'.'</title>' in /home/.............../extensions/CustomTitle.php on line 66

Can someone address this issue, It has happened to me, not often but occassionally but this could be a bug or something that others may experience as well.
