The following input:

![caption containing "quoted" text](image.png)

invoked with multimarkdown --format=html test.md produces the following:

<figure>
<img src="image.png" alt="caption containing "quoted" text" />
<figcaption>caption containing &#8220;quoted&#8221; text</figcaption>
</figure>

which is invalid html. I'm using MMD 6.7.0. Is there any option to work around this, or is this just a bug?

    It's a bug. But fixed in MultiMarkdown 7
