Substitution variable not properly terminated

[Stephan B]

Hi all,

I just ran into an issue I hope you can help me with. I haven't found any answer using search here or via google.

I try to build a template to comfortably insert substitution variables, using substitution variables.

As part of that template I want to have something like this line:

&<name="Hint" hint="A short parameter description" type="none" prefix="hint=\"" suffix="\"">

so that it results in the following line when for example 'My hint' is entered:

hint="My hint"

If nothing is entered, the line should be empty.

Using the above code results in the error "Substitution variable not properly terminated".

Is there any chance to escape the double quotes properly?

To escape the quote you can specify 2 quotes. For example:

prefix="hint="""

Thank you very much, this has helped!
