Description

When MarkupTemplateEngine is used with 'useDoubleQuotes' config enabled, incorrect output is produced. 

Given this example code:

import groovy.text.markup.*

def out = new MarkupTemplateEngine(new TemplateConfiguration(useDoubleQuotes: true))
        .createTemplate('''tag(attr: 'contains " quote')''')
        .make()
println out

Result is:

<tag attr="contains &quote; quote"/>

But expected result is:

<tag attr="contains &quot; quote"/>

The wrong XML entity is used - &quote is not valid.
