You should write *two* apostrophes/singlequotes to get one
singlequote/apostrophe inside singlequotes in YAML:

     'It''s done like this, isn''t it?'

It's dead ugly but not as ugly as "escaping doublequotes inside
doublequotes with backslashes \"like this\" is". However inside
doublequotes you have a bunch of other possible backslash escapes
so allowing doubled doublequotes doesn't mike sense. In
singlequotes escaping by doubling makes sense, because the only
thing which needs escaping there is the singlequote itself.

(If the above wasn't intelligible it's because I've been
proofreading my own prose all day long...)
