Aparajita,
I'll send you an example of what is happening when I'm back in the office
this week.
This heredoc is used as the template for an email message. It contained
wording similar to the following. The ...s are for example purpose and
text not shown for brevity.
$heredoc := """
Beginning of text... {0} ... {1} ... {2} ...
You are receiving this message because you are in the Organization's
\"Name of Group\".
Instructions:
{3}
Lot more text with 10 more parameters
..."""
With the ' in place {0}, {1}, and {2} would be substituted but {3} on
would show literally.
When I originally was debugging this I paired down the template to only
have the first 4 params. By escaping the ' where Organization's is used I
was able to get {3} to substitute. As I restored the template to its full
text something broke again and the problem re-appeared. If I don't escape
the ' I still have problems but the ' doesn't appear in the output.
I had to move on and reworded the template so that the ' wasn't required.
