How do I store some html code as a variable or string without the html syntax messing with the vb.net syntax?


Dim xhtmlheader As String = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"<html xmlns=" xml:lang="en" >"


note the " interupts the string, I tried \" like in C++ but that doesn't work! Is there an escape character or something?

You double them up. So if you want to store "Joe Said" (including quotes), you'd use:
Code: 
Dim myString As String
myString = ""Joe Said""

I am not near my .NET machine but couldn't you code the double quote as chr(34). It will look messy but it should do the trick.

it would be more like this

Code: 
Dim xhtmlheader As String = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN""
  ""[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"">[/URL]
<html xmlns=""[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml""[/URL] xml:lang=""en"" >"

click on the process tgml link in step 2 options to find the code window thingie.
