DESCRIPTION

[jsq] tag quotes (escapes) strings and performs basic variable substitution, for use in JavaScript code blocks.

This is mostly used for long strings which are hard to prepare manually.

[jsquote] is an alias for [jsq].

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: Basic example

Here's an example of JavaScript code and the output it would generate, once expanded by Interchange:

<script>
  var astring = 'just an insert';
  var somevar = [jsq] Big long string you don't
  want to have to quote for JS, and you want to
  insert the variable $astring.[/jsq];
</script>

Expands to:

<script>
var astring = 'just an insert';
var somevar = " Big long string you don't" +
  '  want to have to quote for JS, and you want to' +
  '  insert the variable ' + astring + '.';
</script>
