+ * @brief php to js string transfer
+ * Hilmar, 20200227
+ * String values built in php for using as content for js variables become sanitized. Often required
+ * in cases, where some content will be translated by t(any text...) and is furthermore transfered via
+ * templates to the outputted html stream. Redecoding in js not required nor useful.
+ * Apply like: p2j(t('any text\nI will place on a "next line"'));
