What is the right way to include a literal dollar sign in a template?
I've got some JavaScript, and "$f" is getting parsed out to nothing... kind of annoying.
I tried escaping the dollar sign to no avail. Ultimately I wrote a "DollarSign" function in the Page model that simply returns a literal dollar sign. So in the template "{$DollarSign}f" gets me what I need. It just seems so inelegant.
Hum...I'm not recalling any way to escape the dollar sign using the current template parsing engine.
The template parsing patch I submitted implements escaping, such that template code "$$Something" will be output as a literal "$Something".
