cout << "this server-generated javascript variable is \\\"injection-safe\\\"!"

When you do it from server code to JS variable, you have to use three slashes so it ends up in the JS declaration with one, and renders as a regular double-quote when called.

Localization is fun!

fun fact: backslash only exists in ASCII because one of the guys involved was a huge nerd and wanted to be able to use /\ and \/ to represent and and or, respectively

and lo, did we promptly decide to make them write it /\\ and \\/.
