ScriptQuote Element
The ScriptQuote element is used to encode a string to fit within JavaScript code. This element is used for rendering text from the server that must be interpreted as a quoted string.

Remarks
The ScriptQuote element performs the following conversions on its body text:
- converts " to \"
- converts \ to \\
- converts CR to \r\CR (where CR is character code 13)
Example
The code <ows:ScriptQuote>This is a test</ows:ScriptQuote> renders "This is a test" since NotAddingQuote is not set to TRUE. But the code <ows:ScriptQuote NotAddingQuote="TRUE">This is a test</ows:ScriptQuote> renders This is a test, without quotation marks, since NotAddingQuote is set to TRUE. Note that in the second case the string is not surrounded by quotation marks.
