The {{quote}} template is very finicky. I've know for weeks that it will barf if you have an embedded external link in it (unless said link is in a markup, or under some circumstances in the attribution part of the template (though I have yet to figure out the rules for that)). However, I just discovered this morning that it doesn't like equals signs ("=") in the body of the quote, either. A good example would be the quote at the top of http://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/Use ... tish_Money]Useful Notes/Old British Money, which I have left in place as an example. I have attempted to substitute the HTML entity code for the "equals" character, but the template is too clever for me and simply interprets it as a literal string (at least it doesn't crash the template, though). Argh.
