What I am trying to do is use exhibit on a data set where the item
labels have periods in them. So, let's say I have JSON data like:
{
items: [
{ label: "John Doe",
type: "Person",
"Employee.Age": 36,
"Employee.Likes": "Mary Smith",
"Employee.Colors": [ "blue", "yellow" ]
}
]
}
Now I want to display one of the fields in Exhibit like "Employee.Age".
If I try something like
<div ex:role="exhibit-view"
ex:viewClass="Exhibit.TabularView"
ex:columns=".label, .Employee.Age">
</div>
It will choke on Employee.Age due to the period. I tried .Employee\.Age
but that did not work either, so I'm wondering how to escape the period
so that exhibit does not try to parse it.
Thanks,
Corwin

Subject: Re: Escaping characters in Exhibit
As an initial guess, Javascript objects can have property id's with
periods in them, as long as the whole thing has quotes around it. So,
I suppose you could try "Employees.Salary". If that doesn't work, I
can look through the code and see. What exactly are you trying to do
that's having an issue because of the dots?
