I am scanning postable HTML trying to convert things surrounded in
&quot; to a style, no embedded space allowed, but embedded entity
allowed to be left intact.

e.g.
&quot;cat&quot; (hex  2671756F743B6361742671756F743B  in  ASCII.)
to <span class="quoted">cat</span>  From there the style will be
refined manually.


&quot;na&iuml;ve&quot; (hex
2671756F743B6E612669756D6C3B766567261756F743B in ASCII) to
 <span class="quoted">na&iuml;ve</span>
 

The tricky part is the search where & inside is ok, even though the
terminator also starts with &.

This is further complicated by the fact I have not yet written a regex
utility that uses Java conventions. Funduc has its own quite different
ones. I thought one proffered solution could be modified for Funduc,
or I might cook up a one-shot Java utility with hard-coded constants
to avoid the problem if having deal with escaping parameters.
