So if you paste this as a comment somewhere you don���t have to manually add double double-quotes.

I don���t use the result of print it at all, but I guess there are two scenarios for it���s usage. One as you described: copy the result and use it in tests or in some further computation. (but if you use TDD test are already written ;P). Another one is to copy the result and paste it somewhere as a comment in your code, to access it easily afterwards. If you have a double quote in your result it will break the comment, so the thing is escaped automatically.

I'm hacking in an old Pharo 50 image and it was terrible because printit even a copyReplaceAll: '""' byt: '"'
did not work. 
I do not understand what is the scenario to double quote comment character " 

I understand single quotes but not double quotes.

Try doing Ctrl+P twice. It will not comment the printed string.

about quoting ;(

Hi

I have a string

 '<li>
<span class="author">St&eacute;phane Ducasse and Damien Pollet</span>, <span class="title">Fingerprints</span>, <span class="journal">Journal of Information System</span>, <span class="year">2010</span>.
</li>
'

and when I do printIt in the debugger I get the following


 "'<li>
<span class=""author"">St&eacute;phane Ducasse and Damien Pollet</span>, <span class=""title"">Fingerprints</span>, <span class=""journal"">Journal of Information System</span>, <span class=""year"">2010</span>.
</li>
'"

I do not get why we doublequote the character "
inside string.

It means that I have to remove all the " inside to string to be able to express tests.
