Why do you want to do that, Hua?

but i don't want to use '\'

Why don't you want to do that?

How could you use '\' for that?

Why escape the '/' on the closing tags? I have only read that is
necessary for script tags. Do HTML parsers exist that have a problem
with those closing tags or are you just being conservative?

I find it a easier to use single quotes when quoting HTML because then
attribute double quotes don't need escaping.

"<li id=\"foo\">"
'<li id="foo">'

But Douglas, she does not want to use "\"!

var sl = String.fromChar Code(47);

var html = '<html>' +
'<body>' +
'<'+sl+'body>' +
'<'+sl+'html>' ;

alert(html);

I would always prefer

var html = new Array(
"<html>",
" <body>"
" <\/body>",
"<\/html>"
).join("\n");

above that.

Add me. However, it is perfectly Valid to use apostrophes ("single quotes")
as attribute delimiter as well, even in X(HT)ML.

That should have been "attribute _value_ delimiter".

(Unfortunately, the SGML spec is not available free of charge at ISO.)

However, the SGML productions provide a fair idea:

multiline repr (code generation)

Dear All, I need a way of writing strings or arbitrary Python code that will a) allow the strings to be read again unchanged (like repr) b) write multiline strings as multiline strings instead of escaping the \n's. A repr function that output triple-quoted strings with explicit (non-escaped) linebreaks would be perfect.

multiline strings and proper indentation/alignment

by: John Salerno | last post by:

How do you make a single string span multiple lines, but also allow yourself to indent the second (third, etc.) lines so that it lines up where you want it, without causing the newlines and tabs or spaces to be added to the string as well?

how can i create a multi-line textbox dynamically?

I need to create a multi-line label dynamically. Since labels aren't multi-line, I'm creating a textbox and making it look like a label with the multiline property set to true. I want to increase the height of the textbox only if there are multiple lines, and leave it at the default height if the text does not wrap after setting the Text property. I thought I could use the Lines property after setting the Text property,
