ContentService
Service for returning text content from a script.
You can serve up text in various forms. For example, publish this script as a web app.
function doGet() {
return ContentService.createTextOutput("Hello World");
}
When visiting the web app URL you will see "Hello World" in the browser. Due to security
considerations, scripts cannot directly return content to a browser. Instead, they must serve the
content from a different URL. This is why the URL in the browser for output created via this web
app will be different than the original script URL.
