[JW Lua] Bug: Edit Plug-in Definition dialog needs proper escaping

[Jari Williamsson]

Thomas,

Thanks for the report.

I've changed this for the upcoming beta. The Plug-in Def dialog box 
should now handle the 3 characters ' " \ correctly as escaped sequences, 
when required.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson

So I guess the easiest and safest thing would be to escape all quotes and backslashes with a backslash.  That would however disallow newlines which might be handy for the Description field.
