Re: escape nested content in macro?

How come you need to use a macro at all if all you're doing is
escaping a javascript string?

var v = "${x?js_string}"
//do something with v in javascript

Unless what you're trying to escape isnt in a variable. But it would
have to be if you were passing it to a macro.
Unless you're passing it as nested content. In which case, why cant
you use <#assign> to get into a variable and run ?js_string on it? I
dont understand why you cant assign the text to a variable using
#assign

<#macro my_macro>
<#assign the_nested_crap>
<#nested>
</#assign>
var v = "${the_nested_crap?js_string}"
//do something with v
</#macro>

<@my_macro>
I ""will"" be 'escaped'
</@my_macro>
