URL's with ' in them don't get converted to links in editors

Trying to link to this documentation page: http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Release+5.2+Upgrade+Notes#Release5.2UpgradeNotes-Scannersdon'taccessthedatabase fails in Pull Requests (Description or Comments)

The single-quote causes that <a> tag to not have an 'href' inside of it, so it looks like a link but cannot be clicked.

This happens with a straight paste of the entire URL, or using the markdown syntax to format the link.
