Add the following code to the Master Control Program, between the nowiki tags:-

// MASTER CONTROL PROGRAM
var MCPOutput = “Hello world.”;

Enact a new rule, “Running the Program”:-

Executing the Master Control Program is an atomic action with the following steps:-

* In a newly opened browser window, go to https://jsfiddle.net/L6ebadys/1/ (this page is known as the Hardware)
* Copy the contents of the Master Control Program rule and paste it into the “JavaScript + jQuery 3.3.1” section of the Hardware, with the cursor at line 1
* Press the “Run” button in the top left of the Hardware
* Press the “Run the Master Control Program” button in the bottom right section of the Hardware

Bare bones suggestion for using Javascript in a similar way to last dynasty. We paste the MCP code from the ruleset into a jsfiddle page which is just set up to print the contents of “MCPOutput”, press the button and see what we get.

Yeah. You can stop ExpressionEngine from converting them by changing the “Formatting:” field on a new post, but I can’t see any way to enforce this across the blog. Maybe we should have an atomic step to clear these up.
