Description

Sometimes titles (and possibly other fields) may contain '' or ''' in the source. In wiki context it means italics (2) or bold (3), so to preserve the original meaning VE should add <nowiki> (or html encoding).

Example for a page with '' in its title: http://www.themarker.com/wallstreet/1.3043194

Not a job for Citoid, it's a job for consumers of Citoid's JSON (e.g. if the consumer is inserting into Markdown they have different concerns). Is the code "in" VE not doing that?

No, at least here: https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%91%D7%99%D7%AA_%D7%A1%D7%95%D7%94%D7%A8&diff=19147987&oldid=18943059 (see the title associated with http://www.themarker.com/wallstreet/1.3043194 )
