But putting a quoted term inside other quotes of the same kind causes the term to be taken as an identifier. You can see from the syntax coloring in the first line that the word button is not part of the quoted string. Use a different token (such as apostrophe) for the quotes inside the other quotes (or in this case you can omit them entirely).
