resourceName

Value: String

Usage: resourceName = "metadata_block_resourceName";

• While the resourceName is non-semantic, it is suggested that it should be compatible with JavaScript variable naming conventions and XML/CSS naming conventions to help keep things consistent.
• This value is used in retrieval of the same-named resource specified in the corresponding metadata block @resource key. After it is retrieved, no formatting on the resource will occur, and it will be returned upon completion of this API method.
