Re: [Jmol-users] a syntax question

[Robert H. <ha...@st...>]

Jmol and JavaScript have the same quotation mark rules -- '...' or "..."
'..."...' is ok, "...'...." is ok, '...\'....' or "...\"..." are ok.

In HTML tag attributes, you can't use \' or \".

I strongly recommend going to 12.0 despite the fact that you will need two
files. Is there some particular reason you have to have only one file?
