[Tutor] Escaping a single quote mark in a triple quoted string.

[Ray Parrish]

Hello,

I am getting the following -

 >>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray's Links</a>"""
 >>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray\'s Links</a>'

Note the magically appearing back slash in my result string. Now I tiry 
to escape the single quote.

 >>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray\'s Links</a>"""
 >>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray\'s Links</a>'

Once again the unwanted back slash appears.

 >>> NewString = """'"""
 >>> NewString
"'"
Hmmm, no back slash this time...

 >>> String = """<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray""" + """'""" + 
"""s Links</a>"""
 >>> String
'<a href="http://www.rayslinks.com">Ray\'s Links</a>'

Why did quoting the single quote work in NewString when I triple quoted 
just the single quote, but not in the other examples where the result 
shows a back slash before my singe quote in String?

Is there a proper way to do this?

Thanks, Ray Parrish
