I’m not hard coding the string, I’m reading it from an XML. So, whatever I do,
I need to do it by manipulating the string.
E.g. if the string I read contains
Foo "Bar” Foo
your suggestion means I have to programmatically change that to
Foo \quotation{Bar} Foo
which is too complicated, given that I don’t have regular expression replace at
my disposal.
I might be able to change al “ instances into something else by walking through
the string and building a new one.
