[jsqn]
tag quotes (escapes) strings (without performing variable
substitution), for use in JavaScript code blocks.
This is mostly used for long strings which are hard to prepare manually.
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 = [jsqn] Big long string you don't want to have to quote for JS, and you don't want to insert the variable $astring.[/jsqn]; </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 don't want to' + ' insert the variable $astring.'; </script>
