inline quoted functions needs to not escape quote

[mkcode]

I have a function like this where I need to use inline quoting because it's an attribute:

%meta{"name": "description", "content": "{% block description %}{{ _("Some text to translate") }}{% endblock %}"}

This outputs:

<meta content='{% block description %}{{ _(\'Learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything.\') }}{% endblock %}' name='description' />

The _() function is our translation function. It's argument needs to not be quoted! Is it possible to turn this off in some option.

Edit: More confused now than I was :) Can you double check the HamlPy and HTML to make sure they're exactly as you posted?

I see the problem, but I'm confused as to why your HamlPy compiles at all (it doesn't for me using the current development version). Are there backslashes around the quotes of your HamlPy "Some text to translate" that are not in your post?

Note that a workaround would be to use single quotes on the attribute value, i.e. "content": '...._("....")...'

I would suggest as a solution that escaped apostrophes in Django variables tags should have their backslashes removed after parsing. Does anybody foresee any negative side effects to this?

I'm going to close this as it's the same issue as #86, so we can keep discussion on the #86 thread just to make it visible to all interested.

Yes, no problem. The work around worked for us. Thanks for the quick response.
