\title ECMAScript Blocks

QML encourages building UIs declaratively, using \l {Property Binding} and existing 
\l {QML Elements}.  When imperative code is required to implementing more advanced 
behavior, the \l Script element can be used to add ECMAScript code directly to a
QML file, or to include an external ECMAScript file.

The \l Script element is a QML language \e intrinsic.  It can be used anywhere in a
QML file. \e except as the root element of a file or sub-component.  The included 
ECMAScript is evaluated in a scope chain.  The \l {QML Scope} documentation covers
the specifics of scoping in QML.  

\section1 Inline ECMAScript

\code
Rectangle {
    Script {
        function factorial(var a) {
            a = Integer(a);
            if (a <= 0)
                return 1;
            else 
                return a * factorial(a - 1);
        }
    }
}
\endcode
