Why does it not show the added list-item? something is wrong with the single quotation marks

Why are the quotation marks not working orderly? I always get dashed lines if i use them.

<script>
  function addtodo(){

    todolist.innerHTML =  '
    <li class="mdl-list__item">
      <span class="mdl-list__item-primary-content">
      Bryan Cranston
      </span>
    </li>
    '
    ;
    
  }
</script>

As Dan Zuzevich suggests in the comments, you need to use a back tick (i.e., `) and not single quotes. This is because multi-line strings in JS (you might see the term 'template literals') in JS need to be wrapped in backticks. If your string was single line, you could use regular quotation marks. You could also use the backslash character (i.e., \) to do this, as shown here.

<script>
  function addtodo(){

    todolist.innerHTML =  `
    <li class="mdl-list__item">
      <span class="mdl-list__item-primary-content">
      Bryan Cranston
      </span>
    </li>
    `
    ;
    
  }
</script>
