Some KRL statements and expressions use extended quotes. Extended quotes allow multiple line passages that contain the double quote symbol ("
) to be more easily entered.
There are two types of extended quotes in KRL:
Chevrons
...
Chevrons enclose the items to be quoted in double less-than and greater-than signs (<<...>>
). For example:
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
somevar = << |
...
<p>This is <em>some</em> HTML.<br/> |
...
<a href="http://www.google.com">Search Google</a> |
...
</p> |
...
>>; |
Values inside chevrons are treated as strings. The white space is preserved.
Clown
...
Hats
Clown hats are used to quote JavaScript (<|...|>
). The primary difference between chevrons and clown hats is that non-essential whitespace may not be preserved by the execution engine for strings inside clown hats.
