For a crash course on Regular Expressions, let's take apart 'Quotes':
["“»‘].+?["”«’]|^>{1,}.*\n
["“»‘] 
.+? ["”«’] OR ^ >{1,} .* \n
| RegEx in a nutshell | |
| ^ | Beginning of a line |
| \n | new line, line break |
| . (dot) | match any character |
| Referring to what stands left of it: | |
| + | match one or more times |
| * | match zero or more times |
| {n,m} | at least n, but max m times |
| ? | non-greedy mode |
| Groups and Substrings | |
| | | OR operator |
| [xyz] | x or y or z |
["“»‘] any one of these characers
.+? any character, one or more times, non-greedy
["”«’] any one of these characters
| OR
