Twig templating within <script> tag

Question

I think I might be missing something here but it seems twig tags aren't parsed within tags? Is there any way they can be, e.g.:

<script>
var homepageStandfirstAnchors = [<% for anchor in homepage.homepageStandfirstAnchors %>[{{ anchor.text }},{{ anchor.section.handle }},{{ anchor.anchorLink }}],<% endfor %>];
</script>

doesn't work as expected.

Answer 1

It appears to be due to the angle brackets. Try:

<script>
    var homepageStandfirstAnchors = [{% for anchor in homepage.homepageStandfirstAnchors %}[{{ anchor.text }},{{ anchor.section.handle }},{{ anchor.anchorLink }}],{% endfor %}];
</script>
