title: How to output ${expression} in Freemarker without it being interpreted?
body: <p>I'm trying to use Freemarker in conjunction with jQuery Templates.</p>
  
  <p>Both frameworks use dollar sign/curly brackets to identify expressions for substitution (or as they're called in freemarker, "interpolations") , e.g. <code>${person.name}</code> .  </p>
  
  <p>So when I define a jQuery Template with expressions in that syntax, Freemarker tries to interpret them (and fails).</p>
  
  <p>I've tried various combinations of escaping the <code>${</code> sequence to pass it through Freemarker to no avail - <code>\${</code>, <code>\$\{</code>, <code>$\{</code>, etc.  </p>
  
  <p>Inserting a freemarker comment in between the dollar and the curly (e.g. <code>$&lt;#-- --&gt;{expression}</code>) DOES work - but I'm looking for a more concise and elegant solution.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simpler way to get a Freemarker template to output the character sequence <code>${</code>?</p>
