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 ".

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;')"/>
