Answer 1

Here's one of many ways to do it

var source = document.querySelector("pre").textContent;

var items = source.split("\n"); //Split items by new line
items = items.map(function(item) { //Trim whitespace off of each item
    return item.trim(); 
}).filter(function(item) { //Filter out empty items
    return item;
});

var list = "'" + items.join("','") + "'"; //Join items together by single quotes and comas, and add single quotes at the beggining and the end
alert(list);
