[stringtemplate-interest] Conflict with jQuery's $

[Bilal Bhatti]

Hi,

I ran into the same issue. Escaping $ with \$ works but it is not an ideal
solution. Also, using <..> is even worse, as if you are using jQuery you are
probably in a webapp and then wouldn't that conflict with HTML tags?

I think the way ST delimits an expression could be better. Velocity doesn't
have any problem with expressions like these or using $ for jQuery. May be
it ST could ignore a single $ and only attempt to evaluate an expression
that has a closing $, like $.....$.

Thanks.

BTW: I really like ST :)
