Html mix with livecode server

[Alex Tweedly]

Short answer .... you can use single quotes and double quotes 
interchangeably in HTML (so long as consistently).

So you can do

> <?lc
> If gErrText is not empty then
> Put "<div class='alert alert-danger' role='alert'"
> ?>
Second answer: Or, you could mix html + lc, and do

> <?lc If gErrText is not empty then ?>
> <div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"
> <? end if ?>
Third answer: Or, for anything more complex like a full website, you 
might want to look at Ralf Bitter's excellent revigniter.com

Where there are multiple if, else blocks  - that would be hard to read and cater for.  Or have I missed something obvious?
