[FIXED] How to stop Dreamweaver from converting " double quotes to "?

Issue

I need to use double quotes inside a tag

How to stop Dreamweaver from converting " double quotes to " ?

I need the original " and not &quot; but as soon as I add the " quote via Design view, it shows " in design view, but in code view its &quot;

I need the " double quote to remain the same in both Design and Code view.

The reason is that i need the double quote "" in a tag such as {mytag category="news"}

I need the exact tag as {mytag category="news"} but dreamweaver is changing the double quotes in the Code view to " so this is what i am getting in the Code view

{mytag category="news"}

ISSUE :: SOLVED

Solution

Found the answer

I just changed the DOCTYPE from XHTML to HTML5

And it worked fine, it did not convert the double quotes to its entity.

This solves the issue for me, for now.
