Day 016 - Adding Text - Apostrophe

Notice in the previous day we wrapped the text we wanted to display in ', but what if you need to use ' to be displayed in your text?

This code won't work:

$('h1').text('here's some text');

Because the jQuery will look for the first ' to start and ' to end, viewing this code in the console you'll get:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

To rectify this and display the ' as text you can add \ before like so:

$('h1').text('here\'s some text');
