heredoc on nodejs

Question

Trying to use the Heredoc Method described here: http://www.developfortheweb.com/2009/03/multi-line-strings-in-javascript/

var string = (<r><![CDATA[

   The text string goes here.  Since this is a XML CDATA section,
   stuff like <> work fine too, even if definitely invalid XML. 

]]></r>).toString();

I can't make it work on node.js. I tested it on client side - it works on Firefox, but Chrome.

How should I use this method on node.js?

Thanks!

Even though this blog posts tells you something else, JavaScript does not have heredoc strings.

So you should not use it at all - it is a dirty hack. The reason why it works in some browsers is that they allow inline XML. NodeJS probably doesn't because well, it's ugly and dirty.
