 * This
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
       jQuery(".span7").append('<div class="span2"></div>');
       jQuery(".span7").removeClass("span7").addClass("span5");
       // ]]></script>
       ```
   
 * goes to this
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
       jQuery(".span7").append('
   
       <div class="span2"></div>
   
       ');
       jQuery(".span7").removeClass("span7").addClass("span5");
       // ]]></script>
       ```
   
 * And then it doesn’t work. Ideas?
