[antlr-interest] How to have strings enclosed in " and/or "

Hi Ter,

" foo " and more "
is String ' foo '
Text  ' and more '
and start of another string unclosed

It is not quite that bad. Actually
it would more like
!![ " foo "] and more "
or some such
I am only looking at quotes inside my webstringtemplate escapes !![  ]
I need to know when closing ] is outside a quoted string (allow for escaped
quotes)
e.g  !![" !![ ]" ]  in the template will output
!![ ]
and  !![""" !![ ]""" ]  in the template will output
"!![ ]"

a " and a " are interchangable because they look the same to
the user editing HTML in a visual editor.
