Description & Comments:
If a wiki page contains HTML which uses attributes, e.g. a (FONT COLOR='red') tag, and the user (out of long-time pedantic habit) _properly_ quotes the attributes (as in the previous example), then fossil will output (FONT COLOR="'red'") (notice the extra quotes) to the browser, which results in browser-dependent behaviour (and is malformed HTML in any case).

To reproduce: add a FONT tag with a COLOR='red' (with the quotes) tag to a wiki entry, and then view the wiki page in a browser.

My assumption is that this affects all quoted HTML attributes, but i have so far only noticed it with the FONT tag.
