Sure. Please keep discussion on the mailing list, thanks.

No, I don't. All that you showed us of where this text goes is:

Presumably the dtml method/document where you found that code 
contains something like: <dtml-var text>.
I am *guessing* that it looks like <dtml-var text html_quote>
or <dtml-var text html_quote=1>.

Remove the html_quote attribute and you should be OK.

But since you say this used to work in zope 2.7,
there is probably some other problem.

It's hard to say without having access to more of your code.
Sorry.
