Add more wording for execute JavaScript command. #17

Closed Natrium729 closed 6 years ago

Natrium729 commented 6 years ago

I think a the should be allowed after execute. Also, maybe allow JS in place of JavaScript:

To execute the/-- JavaScript/JS command/code:

You could even allow JS instead of JavaScript in other phrases, such as the text returned by the JS command.

Also, the the in value returned by the JavaScript command and the like should maybe be optional.

Agreed on the "the"s which should be available and optional, but I'm a bit reluctant to add abbreviations which would go against the I7 Standard Library style.

If you end up needing lots of JavaScript commands in a project, you can create a shorthand for yourself:

To JS (code - text):
  execute JavaScript command code.

I wasn't sure too, that why I wrote "maybe"! However, since "JS" is quite a standard abbreviation for "JavaScript", it may be worth thinking about it.

But then, as you wrote, I could just add my own phrase, so it's not a big deal.
