In HTML,
these two chars work the same
" ' dbl single
if you start a string with a single quote, it continues until the next
single quote
if you start a string with a dbl quote, it continues until the next
dbl quote
so var = 'a phrase containing a " char is kept intact'
without escaping or the " entity
so use the double quote for Rev and the single quote for HTML code
-A- Without using merge() function
get empty
get IT & "<a href='http://"; & fld link && "target='_blank' > & fld
link & "</a>"
get IT & "<br/></br/>"
put IT after tData
---- the output is valid code and a clickable link
<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank' >google.com</a><br/><br/>
-B- using the merge function
put merge( \
"<a href='http://[[fld link]]' target='_blank' >[[fld link]]</
a><br/><br/> " \
) after tData
---- the output is valid code and a clickable link
<a href='http://google.com' target='_blank' >google.com</a><br/><br/>

It's been a while since my last question but working hard on some

For my daily job I needed a quick app to create a HTML file. In the
app I have some fields and in one of them I put a URL (just
www.domainname.com).
In some hidden fields I put the needed HTML and the all come together
when I save the file.
All works fine but when I look at the sourcecode in IE8 or Safari the
HTML isn't completely correct.
In a link it misses the quotes (") at the beginning or the end of
the URL.
What I do is this:
put "<a href="& "http://"; & fld "link" & " & target="& _blank &"
>"
& fld "link" &"</a>" & "<"&"br/"&">" & "<"&"br/"&">" after tData
You've discovered why I hate concatenating HTML in xTalks. ;)
I've found it far less tedious to just write the HMTL as I want it
in the final output and use the merge function to assemble the
dynamic parts.
For example, you could have this in a field named "template":
<a href="http://[[fld "link"]]" target="_blank ">[[fld "link"]]</
a><br/><br/>
...and then just use this to get the assembled output:
put merge(fld "template") into tData
Check out the merge function in the RevTalk dictionary. It's a life-
saver for tasks like this (and a good many others).
