Enclosing subcommand parameters

You can use either a single quotation mark (') or quotation marks (") to enclose parameters.

To enclose a single quotation mark within a parameter, enter it either as two consecutive single quotation mark ('') in a parameter that is enclosed by a single quotation mark, or enter it as a single quotation mark in a parameter that is enclosed by quotation marks (").

Similarly, if a quotation mark (") is to be contained within a parameter, enter it in one of these ways:

A quotation mark (") in a parameter that is enclosed by apostrophes.
As two consecutive quotation marks ("") in a parameter that is enclosed by quotation marks.

You can use the apostrophe or quotation marks as follows:

If the apostrophe or quotation marks within the parameter are the same as the starting and ending delimiter, repeat the mark within the parameter. For example:
```
'ABCD'12345'    results in   ABCD'12345 "ABCD""12345"    results in   ABCD"12345
```
If the starting and ending marks are not the same as the mark within the parameter, you do not repeat the mark. For example:
```
"ABCD'12345"    results in  ABCD'12345 'ABCD"12345'    results in  ABCD"12345
```
If both the apostrophe and quotation marks are within the parameter, choose one mark symbol as the delimiter. For example:
```
"ABC'12""345"  or  'ABC'12"345'    results in   ABC'12"345
```
