How to escape ${expr} in JET templates? [message #492568]

Hi,

We need to have some placeholders in the form of ${place holder} in our template files. But JET recognizes the ${some name} as a variable. Is there any way to escape this string or the $ symbol in JET?

Thank you,

Asha.

Asha:

${ '${place holder}' }

That is, put the ${ ... } text into quotes within another ${ ... }.

You can use double or single quotes.

If you need to escape a quote, double it up:

Example: To embed ${"hello world"} in the template output, do

${ "${""hello world""}" }

Or, you could break it up like this:

${ "${" }"hello world"}

I confess that not of these look particularly readable.

Quoting strategy shamelessly stolen from JSP/EL
