Its all written in front of you when you start writing a new
python script in Zope:

# Example code:
# Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response objects.
from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote
                                             ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

erm. but this is a different thing.
html_quoting means put & into -> &,
put < into &lt; and so on.

url_quote means put " " into %20, ...

BTW (hint! hint!) for alle the URL constructors
out there:

from ZTUtils import make_query

query=make_query(foo='bar',blah=[1,2,3])

will build a nice query string to be appendet to URLs.
