Ok having a blonde monent, The above regex on 

[color=#0000ff]Blue Text[/color]

produces

<span style=”color: #0000ff”>Blue Text</span>

any clues as to why its escaping the double quote?

alex

are you sure its the output of the regex generating the slashing? I dont really see any problem with the regex…

could you be adding the slashes prior to saving the data in the db?

I am 99% sure but could be wrong !

I am var dumping the data just after the regex and it has the escaped quotes

Getting a little late here in Blightey so will have another check tomorrow

Alex

okay, please let us know. I will try to play around if I get some time too…

Well the 1% is always the bit that bites !!!

The slashes were being added before the regex ran 

Alex

glad you resolved.  have ticket open to add this to next version.
