------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the point behind the escape sequence is to allow leaving ${....} 
markups in templates, and that's all, no? Putting $$$$ would brake IDE support 
for JavaScript (not generically, but for specific libraries).

As $variable expressions are not processed, this would be a safe thing to do.

Now:

${...} gets interpolated
$${...} gets turned into ${...}
$$ will get processed (and will result in strange results with JS calls that 
have curly bracers like $$("el").each(functionI() {...}); )

After changes:

${...} gets processed
$${...} gets turned into ${...}
$$ will not get processed

Quite propably I am missing something here?

>             Project: Wicket
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: wicket
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.6
>         Environment: Windows XP SP3, Apache Jetty 6.1.22
>            Reporter: Tuukka Mustonen

> Many JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and MooTools use $$ to find out 
> arrays of elements. Having $$('blaa') is currently replaced by Wicket into 
> $('blaa'). Wanted behavior is to replace all $${...} with ${...}, not $$ with 
> $.
> Possible fix (don't really have time to look at this atm):
> org.apache.wicket.util.template.VariableInterpolator:
> Row 111:
>               while ((start = lowerPositive(string.indexOf("$$", pos), 
> string.indexOf("${", pos))) != -1)
>               {
>                       // Append text before possible variable
>                       buffer.append(string.substring(pos, start));
>                       if (string.charAt(start + 1) == '$')
>                       {
>                               buffer.append("$");
>                               pos = start + 2;
>                               continue;
>                       }
>               ...
> Shoud be changed to:

>               {
