You may need to search for either the decimal entity or hex entity depending
on a variety of mysterious (to me) factors. We search on decimals. Here are
the ones have to look for:
– –

‘ ‘

“ “
” ”
… …

You may need to find the hex or decimal equivalent for ".

Does anyone have any tricks to grab the quote. I would expect it would see
the double quote in the single quote as 'text' and not a delimiter.
However, it sees it as a closing quote. I tried the 'old vi backslash
trick'but it didn't work.
There is no backslash escaping in XML/XPath.
Try
<xsl:variable name="name1">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($definition, '"')"/>
</xsl:variable>
BTW you could write this as
<xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition,
'"')"/>
