Hi,

Is there a way to disable simple dollar sign prefixed variable
interpretation in Genshi XML template, such as $var? (i.e., leave only
the more canonical ones ${var})

This is because $var format conflicts with variables widely used in
JavaScript (especially JQuery).

Thanks.

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

I use CDATA in my scripts. Genshi does not touch anything inside CDATA
block.

Regards,
Łukasz

Well, it doesn't work for me --

In [1]: import genshi

In [2]: genshi.__version__
Out[2]: '0.6'

In [3]: from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate

In [4]: tmpl_str = """<html>
...: <head>
...: <script type="text/javascript">
...: /*<![CDATA[*/
...: var $dollar = 'Dollar';
...: /*]]>*/
...: </script>
...: </head>
...: <body></body>
...: </html>"""

In [3]: tmpl = MarkupTemplate(tmpl_str)

In [4]: print tmpl.generate().render('xhtml')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
