+  * Escaping Doublequotes: If you need to provide a doublequote within your string, you need to escape them by just providing two doublequotes instead of one. Example:
+    * your string is: [this is my "string"]
+    * in a function, you need to use it this way:  ["this is my ""string"""]
+    * as you see, the string was wrapped into double quotes, just as any string inside functions. Additionally the real doublequotes in the string just have been doubled.
