When inserting links, I quite often use quotes inside the link tooltip
(e.g. a tooltip like: ''Lookup "foo" on Wiktionary''. Or ''Read more about
"Foo" on Wikipedia''.
However these always end up being inserted in the editor unescaped.
{{{
Example text
<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/whilst" title="Lookup "whilst" on
Wiktionary" target="_blank">whilst</a>
referring to
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_(TV_series)"
title="Read about "Elementary (TV series)" on Wikipedia"
target="_blank">Elementary</a>
on Wikipedia.
}}}
The attribute values for "title" and "href" (like any attribute value,
really) need escaping (especially tooltip, which is more likely contain a
quote, though the URL should naturally have html special characters
escaped as well).
