As far as I know, as long as you watch your internal quotes and stuff,
writeoutput can display ANYTHING, period.
Ie, you only need to concern yourself if you want to output quotes:
writeOutput("Ray said, ""Welcome to """);
Notice that I had to escape the quotes in the string above.
It doesn't matter if the str looks like JavaScript, writeOutput won't
care.
p.s. FYI, if you are like me, and hate typing writeOutput, consider a
UDF!
function print(str) {
return writeOutput(str);
}
When I'm really lazy, I name the UDF "p":
p("Testing #foo#<P>");
