Description
When using the <q> element for quotemarks there is a problem doing subquotes, "as in 'this is a' subquote."
Typically a subquote would be done like this:
<q>as in <q>this is a</q> subquote.</q>
But Wordpress, presumably wanting to close what it thinks are open tags, saves it like this:
<q>as in </q><q>this is</q> a subquote.
So you end up with this:
"as in ""this is" a subquote.
Instead of this:
"as in 'this is a' subquote."
