escaping characters

[Warner Onstine]

Hi all,
I'm just hoping there's a better solution to this. I am trying to do this:

#set ($catLink = "<a href='$linkStr'>$category.Name</a>")

But, I don't want the href to contain single quotes, but instead double
quotes. I've looked through the docs and haven't found anything related to
this.

Everything that I've tried so far has either resulted in a bad link or an
error, any help would be appreciated.
