Formatting Tokens
Foswiki defines some standard special tokens that can be used to replace characters in some parameters - notably those to
FormattedSearch and
IfStatements - to defer evaluation of the parameter until later. These special tokens are often called "escapes", because they allow the character to "escape" from its normal meaning.
$n or $n() |
New line. Use $n() if followed by alphanumeric character, e.g. write Foo$n()Bar instead of Foo$nBar |
$nop or $nop() |
Is a "no operation". This token gets removed; useful for nested search |
$quot |
Double quote (") (\" also works) |
$percnt |
Percent sign (%) |
$dollar |
Dollar sign ($) |
$lt |
Less than sign (<) |
$gt |
Greater than sign (>) |
$amp |
Ampersand (&) |
If you ever find yourself needing to escape an escape, you can use
$dollar to escape the leading dollar, thus:
$dollarpercnt.
