Question

first question ever here on stackoverflow: i want to escape html inside php AND then inside html php again AND return a string from an _e() function. i am not sure if the “lingo” is correct. so here is the case:

return '...<span class="strike"></span><a class="read-more" href="'. 
get_permalink($post->ID) . '" title="'.get_the_title($post->ID).'">Read more</a>';

the “read more” should be replaced with

_e( 'Read more', 'mytheme' )

to be able to translate the term.

I tried everything. All help appreciated.

Answer 1

How about:

return '...<span class="strike"></span><a class="read-more" href="'. 
get_permalink($post->ID) . '" title="'.get_the_title($post->ID).'">'._e( 'Read more', 'mytheme' ).'</a>';
