I've been editing the above page to correct lots of broken links. The first thing to notice is that the broken links weren't red. But this post is about what I can only assume is a bug in Unicode handling. The behaviour is really strange, though - in places adding or removing a space can cause an error, and the error is entirely unrelated to the change. I've been unable to get the era name "Kannō" to display without triggering the error (it's currently displayed as "Kan'ō", which is apparently a valid alternative, but not the variant used for its article's title).

The error looks like this:

EasyTimeline 1.90

Timeline generation failed: 1 error found
Line 15: ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:50 start:1350 gridcolor:grid1

- Scale attribute 'grid' invalid. Unknown color ''.
Specify command 'Color' before this command.

What's really odd is that if I replace [[Kan'o|Kan'ō]] with [[Kannō|Kannō]] in the wikitext, it seems to work OK.
