282,Document $$ escape convention,dclark@…,cmlenz,"As far as I can see the syntax of using double dollar sign ($$) in a genshi text template to indicate a single dollar sign ($) in the output text isn't documented, in for example:

  * http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/text-templates.html

The only way I found it was from knowledge that that convention is used in Makefiles sometimes; later I found these related tickets: #92 #117 and these mailing list posts:

  * [http://tinyurl.com/67hve4 rendering HTML with embedded $'s]   
  * [http://tinyurl.com/6mlnlz Genshi templates and Mootools JS selectors]

For the project I work on, Bcfg2, we've doc'ed this here:
  * http://bcfg2.org/wiki/TGenshi#FAQs

This would seem to be a pretty common use case; for example with any type of file if you want to have subversion (svn) keywords like $Id$, you need to have $$Id$$ in the Genshi template file.",enhancement,closed,minor,0.6,Documentation,0.5,fixed,dollarsign dollar sign $,
