HTML Help with sugarcube attribute directive + apostrofy

[McLOVINu]

Here goes my code attempts, none work:

@data-title='$charactername + "'s room"'
@data-title="$charactername + ''s room'"

Now, if I remove the ' both work, but it is missing the apostrophe.

I want the title to show as "Name's room".

Also, how can I put a viarable into this sort of LINK?

[img[Name's room|pics/location/home/bedroom1.jpg]]

Into something like this:

[img[$charactername's room|pics/location/home/bedroom1.jpg]]

This works:

@data-title="$charactername + '\'s room'">

Would have been better to make another post in the thread than edit the question into the first one which had already been answered.

Anyway, one way to do what you want would be to assign the possessive string to another variable. You could do this immediately after setting the $charactername variable in the first place:

<<set $charactername_apos = "$charactername + '\'s'">>

and then use that new variable in your link

[img[$charactername_apos room|pics/location/home/bedroom1.jpg]]

or anywhere else you need, like for the title

@data-title="$charactername_apos room"

Thanks, I'll try both when I get some free time.

I still can't figure out how to fix the 'video pausing' issue.

Unfortunately that's not so much a Twine/Sugarcube question, as it is a complex browser DOM/API issue. You'd be better off searching places like stack overflow or MDN for answers to such esoteria.

<<set $charactername_apos = "$charactername + '\'s'">>

I don't think that works... for data-title at least (I can't speak for the [] notation as I don't use it).

This should work.

<<set $charactername_apos = $charactername + "\'s">>

and then

@data-title="$charactername_apos + ' room'"

but don't know if that works with the [] notation.
