It is possible to write the javascript code in a separate document and include the script through the command Banana.include.
The scripts can be saved in the Documents table or in a local file.

${Banana.include('documents:myscript1');rtnValue}
${Banana.include('c://temp//myscript16.js');rtnValue}

Adding a page break

Troubleshooting

• When taking text from external sources (Word, Internet pages, ...), use the Edit > Paste as plain text command. 
  This command avoids problems with HTML formatting, which in some cases prevents correct display.
• For the examples on this page, use the Copy link on the top right of each example, do not use CTRL+C (or CMD+C).
• If the ${…} field does not work, check that there is no HTML formatting (such as <span>…</span> elements or other) and possibly remove it from the HTML Source code.
• To remove existing HTML formatting from an entire page:
  • copy text to clipboard (CTRL+C)
  • go to the HTML Source tab and delete all content
  • go to the Page 1 tab and paste the copied text with the Edit > Paste as plain text command.
