This is a problem because we use the info file as the source of truth, but the HTML file only uses an apostrophe, so we end up with an entry that we can find in the info file but not in the html file. This did not happen in texinfo 6.8.

Was this intentional? If so, are all apostrophes (U+27) converted to right_single_quotation_mark (U+2019) in the info file? That’s something I can deal with since it’s consistent.

It appears not to be consistent. We have this in the texinfo source:

@fnindex N'th previous output

with a real apostrohpe. The info file has

* N'th previous output:                  Functions and Variables for Command Line.

and that’s also a real apostrophe. Don’t know what’s different between the two cases.
