Another suggestion -- If the thing identified by the 'name'
attribute is an instance of a class that you have implemented, then
implement javascript_quote as a method in that class.  If not, then
use Kapil's suggestion above.  In either case, you can find the
relevant code in /DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py.  Search for
'special_formats' to find out how DocumentTemplate processing does
the lookup and applies the formatting format/function/method.
