It's not xml, it's just HTML.  Don't worry about the fact that the file 
extension is .asp; the file is simply HTML and could have any number of 
extensions (.html, .htm, .pl, .php) depending on how it was produced.

Use offset() to find the beginning and end of the quote, and then munge 
the quote to format it as you like.
