 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).
