 * Hi,
 * I need my plugin to generate two things – once on the page:
 * 1) Using wp_enqueue_script() – this is done
    <script type=”text/javascript” src
   =”[https://<url&gt](https://<url&gt);.js”></script>
 * 2) What can I use to generate a piece of javascript initialization code that 
   should only appear once on the page
 * eg.
    <script type=”text/javascript”> ritc.initialize(‘63864593a4153879’); </script
   >
 * Is there anything like wp_enqueue_script() but which takes a string instead of
   a url?
 * Thanks in anticipation.

 * I have re-written the post to be more clear. Here’s the re-write:
 * I need my plugin to generate the following – once per page:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="https://<ritc url for js file>"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript">
       ritc.initialize('63864593a4153879');
       </script>
       ```
   
 * The purpose of this is to allow one or more shortcodes – all requiring the same
   initialization – to be on a page. I can use wp_enqueue_script() in the shortcode
   function – this works for the first line ie.
 * `<script type="text/javascript" src="https://<ritc url for js file>"></script
   >`
 * But how do I generate the next lines to follow – and only once on the page? ie.
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       ritc.initialize('63864593a4153879'); (one line within script tags)
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Is there anything like wp_enqueue_script() but which takes a string instead of
   a url? The string would be the one-liner above. Not to forget the dependency 
   on the first line above.
 * Or should I just generate the javascript from the shortcode function, managing
   it so it only appears once in the page? (How do I do this? Is there a global 
   variable I can use?)
 * Or is there another approach to doing this?
 * Thanks in anticipation.
