Include $almanac.moonphase in an <img path

[Den]

I have named moon phase .jpg images in the folder weather/moon that match the $almanac.moonphase names.

I am trying to display the image based on the $ variable. Here is the html in the tmpl file:

<img src="weather/moon/ $almanac.moonphase.jpg">

I have tried all kinds of spaces, quotes, single quotes ... without getting the image to display. 

For example:

<img src="weather/moon/" $almanac.moonphase".jpg">

If I enter the line without the $ variable it works:

<img src="weather/moon/Waning gibbous.jpg">

Thanks for reading this and hopefully filling me in with the answer.

I found the answer, embed the variable in braces{}

<img src="weather/moon/{$almanac.moonphase}.jpg"/>

It is more of an HTML solution than anything else.

Of course I'd screw up the answer....

this works....(not real sure why but it does.)

<img src="weather/moon/${almanac.moonphase}.jpg"/>

results in:

<img src="weather/moon/Waning gibbous.jpg"/>

it removes ambiguity - distinguish ${almanac}.moonphase.jpg from ${almanac.moonphase}.jpg from ${almanac.moonphase.jpg}
