Severe Wrap Warning!

on mouseUp
   put "<font face='Lucida Grande' size='13'><b>message 
text</b><br><br></font><font face='Lucida Grande' size='11'>informative 
text</font>" into x
   replace "'" with quote in x
   answer warning x with "Continue" as sheet
end mouseUp

The message text looks bigger than the informative text to me for this 
example.

If you need a lot of quotes, consider format with just the format 
string to insert the quotes.  The string constant parsing goes into a 
special mode in the context of the format function.  For example:

      get format("<font face=\"Lucida Grande\" size=\"13\">")

Who woulda thought?
