Improve `generateContentFn` helper scriptlet New directive: `join:[separator][sub-directives]` [separator] is an author-defined two-character string to be used to split the following sub-directives string. The sub-directives are fed back into the helper scriptlet to generate sub-content, which will be joined into a single string. Example: ...##+js(trusted-prevent-fetch, propstomatch, join:--length:10-20--[some literal content]--length:80-100-- push['ads'])
