[Snowman] story.render failing

I apologise for asking this since I know very little Javascript to work with Snowman, but I've done great advances porting my Harlowe game to Snowman.

I have these two passages:

::render
<%= story.render("content") %>

::content
<a style="color:red" id="hook">Link</a>
<script>
	$('#hook').click(function () {
			story.show("render")
		})
</script>

You run ::render, it displays ::content, with a link that when clicked runs render again. It works perfectly.

Now change ::content like this:

::content
<a style="color:red" id="hook">Link</a>
<script>
	$('#hook').click(function () {
			story.show("render")
		})
</script>

Some other text.

And now, the story.render() function fails with an Unexpected token message.

Can you tell the reason for this? My final goal is building a loop that renders several passages like ::content next to each other.

Thanks!
