[Zope] dtml-in, dtml-var, javascript and keeping quotes

Hello All: Is there a format code (or other way) to do the following: <script language="JavaScript"> var myArray = new Object(); <dtml-in somelist_of_strings prefix="sl"> myArray[<dtml-var sl_item>]=<dtml-var anotherlist_of_strings[sl_index]> </dtml-in> </script> Specifically, I am interested in whether there is a way to force <dtml- var> to render the quotes, assuming both somelist_of_strings and anotherlist_of_strings are both variables available through the REQUEST object. Right now I have to enclose each dtml-var tag inside double quotes, and while it works, it's kind of messy and screws things up when it comes to a different data type. Any suggestions are appreciated.
