Here's my understanding of why you can't do this: a JavaScript
runtime does two things to code. First, it parses it. Then, it
executes it. Line breaks indicate the end of a line of code in
JavaScript, and a line of code can't end with a string open, so the
parsing fails. So you can't solve this problem with JavaScript code,
because JavaScript never gets to the step of executing the code.
Peace,
Scott
