What is the correct syntax for list items that need to contain a quotation mark, etc?
#5
items = ['1/16"', '1/8"','1/4"','3/8"','1/2"','3/4"','1-1/2"','1/6"','1:1']
scales = [f'{item}=1\'-0"' for item in items]
print(scales)
for scale in scales:
    print(scale)
Output:
['1/16"=1\'-0"', '1/8"=1\'-0"', '1/4"=1\'-0"', '3/8"=1\'-0"', '1/2"=1\'-0"', '3/4"=1\'-0"', '1-1/2"=1\'-0"', '1/6"=1\'-0"', '1:1=1\'-0"'] 1/16"=1'-0" 1/8"=1'-0" 1/4"=1'-0" 3/8"=1'-0" 1/2"=1'-0" 3/4"=1'-0" 1-1/2"=1'-0" 1/6"=1'-0" 1:1=1'-0"
