I think I first saw this idea in... Jinja2's source code? Later transplanted it to Mako. <pre><code>r'''(\"\"\"|\'\'\'|\"|\')((?<!\\)\\\1|.)*?\1''' </code></pre> Which does the following: <ul> <li><code>(\"\"\"|\'\'\'|\"|\')</code> matches a Python opening quote, because this happens to be taken from code for parsing Python. You probably don't need all those quote types.</li> <li><code>((?<!\\)\\\1|.)</code> matches: EITHER a matching quote that was escaped ONLY ONCE, OR any other character. So <code>\\"</code> will still be recognized as the end of the string.</li> <li><code>*?</code> non-greedily matches as many of those as possible.</li> <li>And <code>\1</code> is just the closing quote.</li> </ul> Alas, <code>\\\"</code> will still incorrectly be detected as the end of the string. (The template engines only use this to check if there is a string, not to extract it.) This is a problem very poorly suited for regular expressions; short of doing insane things in Perl, where you can embed real code inside a regex, I'm not sure it's possible even with PCRE. Though I'd love to be proven wrong. :) The killer is that <code>(?<!...)</code> has to be constant-length, but you want to check that there's any even number of backslashes before the closing quote. If you want to get this correct, and not just mostly-correct, you might have to use a real parser. Have a look at <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Parsley" rel="noreferrer">parsley</a>, <a href="http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/" rel="noreferrer">pyparsing</a>, or <a href="http://nedbatchelder.com/text/python-parsers.html" rel="noreferrer">any of these tools</a>. edit: By the way, there's no need to check that the opening quote doesn't have a backslash before it. That's not valid syntax outside a string in JS (or Python).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
