Links does not insert Quote signs for q-Tags in HTML. Seems the Tag is
totally ignored.

I could reproduce the bug with this later version of links as well.
---
I have created a simple HTML file (quote.html) with quotes:

<html><head></head><body>
<q>This is a quote</q>
</body></html>

The quotation marks can be seen in other browsers, but links (running
"links quote.html" in shell) does not display them.

links and links2 do parse and recognize <q> tags (even already version
2.1pre37-1.1 from Lenny), but can't (or don't) render them in
text-mode. In graphics mode, text inside <q>...</q> is rendered in a
bold face.
