You don't *need* to replace with "
However, you will need to replace any ampersands with & ( <, >, and
& are characters with intrinsic qualities in html).  You need to
replace & before you replace anything else: if you do it after
repalcing < and > you'll catch your < and >, ending up with
&lt; and &gt; which is not what you want.
