This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
My apologies for the first incomplete bug report.
What I meant to say was that a double-quoted string is automatically
colorized in HTML-Fill mode (with the .emacs settings I have).
The following double-quoted string is meant to have a double-quote
within the string that is one of the characters WITHIN the string (not
meant to terminate the string), this is usually done by
proceeding the double-quote with a backslash character (\"), but this
does not work (the string is terminated by the backslash proceeded
double-quote, then a new string is started by the last double-quote).
" \t\n\r\f.,;\'\"-!`:?"
Is this a bug or is there some way to tell the "colorizer parser" that
I want to put a double-quote WITHIN a double-quoted string.

I don't know whether it's a bug, but " should work.

Is it actually allowed in HTML ?
Last time I looked at SGML it didn't seem to provide any such quoting.
But maybe I just missed it or maybe it's specific to HTML.
If so, could you point me to some documentation about it
(ideally on the web) ?

Yes, this works, BUT the problem is not the html displaying,
but that the Emacs "colorizer parser" can not correctly tell when this
quoted set of character ends. This assumes that the backslash
character can be used in a quoted string to mean DO NOT interpret the
next character as its normal interpretation.
