:1. Back ticks surrounding text passed directly to a context will be stripped. Normally all text is passed verbatim, including quotes. Back ticks effectively treat the rest of the statement as a block for a multi-line statement. Quotes are not removed normally as they may be important to the context's command processing. | :1. Back ticks surrounding text passed directly to a context will be stripped. Normally all text is passed verbatim, including quotes. Back ticks effectively treat the rest of the statement as a block for a multi-line statement. Quotes are not removed normally as they may be important to the context's command processing. Back ticks are special in that they will be removed from the start and end of the script statement. Without this special behavior, there would be no way to run a multi-line command block for an associated context, without switching to it first. | ||
