Escaping . in template

[Dave Hallam <sn...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I have a template that contains the following:

$foo.bar

The variable is foo.  The ".bar" bit is just text so if $foo = hello, the
rendered output should say

hello.bar

I've tried using \ but to no avail by doing

$foo\.bar

The output I get there is

hello\.bar

Can anyone help?

Many thanks,

Dave

use formal notation:

${foo}.bar
