I’m using the new non jquery Syncfusion controls (Essential JS 2). I need to use their templating engine and they use the standard ${_your\_value_} syntax. If this is on an html file, I need aurelia to ignore this chunk of markup, is there a way to do this. I currently have the template defined in javascript to get around this, but it’s ugly to maintain.

Can you try `\${some_value}`?
