    Then I wanted to insert whitespace between the quotation marks.

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish, but rather
than create whitespace between the double quotes, wouldn't you have

you can appropriate the code for that from another library.

Please forgive me if this is from `left field'.
