As HTML. HTML elements in the results are processed and displayed as HTML

l
As text. This inserts the results as-is, meaning HTML tags and elements are
displayed as text in the output. In this scenario, "<br>" shows up in the text and does
not insert a line break.
l
As the value of an attribute of an HTML element. The selector of the script should
be an HTML element. Which attributes are available depends on the selected
HTML element. If the script's selector is an image (<img> element) for example, and
the attribute is src, the script will modify the image's source. The script's results
should be a valid value for the chosen attribute.
Note
When checked, the option Convert fields to JSON string writes the results
from the script into an attribute or text as a JSON string. This is useful for web
contexts where a front-end script can read this value easily.

content of your template, or make sure that there is at least one element that matches the
selector of the script.

Hover over the name of the script in the Scripts pane. In the workspace you will see

error message will be displayed in a hint on the Scripts pane.

prefix and suffix, is skipped. The result of the script will be shorter, causing the rest
