How to write html in formula editor without it flagging various symbols as unexpected

1

For example how can I make this the value of html content in a webview but replace the url with a variable? No matter how I try, it flags a symbol and will not let me save it

<iframe src="mypage.html" style="position:fixed; top:0; left:0; bottom:0; right:0; width:100%; height:100%; border:none; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; z-index:999999;">    Your browser doesn't support iframes</iframe>

You need to “escape” those characters.

Use this escape character, the backslash: \

I tried placing that character directly before the first red character being flagged, in case that is what you meant. That did not work.

Assuming you store your URL in a page variable called “mypagehtml” then your formula would be like this:

"<iframe src=" + "\"" + pageVars.mypagehtml + "\"" + " style=\"position:fixed; top:0; left:0; bottom:0; right:0; width:100%; height:100%; border:none; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; z-index:999999;\">    Your browser doesn't support iframes</iframe>"

Note this has to be entered as a Formula - not a Text value.

I guess it did not dawn on me that variable can be used for long strings html. But this works, thank you.
