RE: String manipulations with quotes

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, '&quot;')"/>
  </xsl:variable>

BTW you could write this as
  <xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition,
'&quot;')"/>
