I'm currently trying out some sample code from Netsuite's official docs, but using `String.raw()` formatting on it instead of sorting through the backslashes. It looks something like this:

```    var renderer = render.create();    
var xmlStr = `&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;<!DOCTYPE pdf PUBLIC "-//big.faceless.org//report" "report-1.1.dtd">&lt;body font-size="18"&gt;Hello World!&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/pdf&gt;`;

    var pdfFile = render.xmlToPdf({
      xmlString: xmlStr
    });
    context.response.writeFile(pdfFile);```
I am getting a "Syntax Error: Illegal Character" error however. Does Netsuite support Template literals and Template strings? I had assumed it did since its own `Advanced PDF/HTML Template` wysiwyg editor utilized a similar function, but I might be misinformed.

other than that, make sure you are using suitescript 2.1

the SS2.1 fix seems to be the solution here, alongside the missing start tag. Thanks.

unfortunately you will have to keep track of which features suitescript supports, its not entirely modern

suitescript 1 and 2 go upto a pathetic <https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es5/|es5>

suitescript 2.1 goes upto <https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es2016plus/|2019>
