Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL in jQuery

Running Splunk examples and I get an error in this function.

var injectCode = function(code) {
    var sTag = document.createElement("script");
    sTag.type = "text/javascript";
    sTag.text = code;
    $(head).append(sTag);
    return sTag;
}

The exact error is in $(head).append(sTag); . This is placed inside a Jade file and it's running on Node. What am I doing wrong here?

EDIT - Sorry, head is defined as var head = $("head");right above the function.

And code comes from this function

var getCode = function(id) {
    var code = "";
    $(id + " pre li").each(function(index, line) {
        var lineCode = "";
        $("span" ,line).each(function(index, span) {
            if ($(span).hasClass("com")) {
                lineCode += " ";
            }
            else {
                lineCode += $(span).text();
            }
        });
        lineCode += "\\n";
        code += lineCode;
        });
      return code;
    }

Try to exchange lineCode += "\\n"; for

lineCode += "\n";

I assume you're dealing with a code string (to which you want to add a newline), not a string literal string (to which you want to add the \n literal).

head is a tag, use that:

$('head').append(sTag);

EDIT:

I would say remove this:

lineCode += "\\n";
