title: Escaping the dollar sign in velocity using backslash not working
body: <p>I have the following segment to get rendered from a velocity template file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>xyz $$foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The dollar signs need to be escaped from VTL parser. And in the template file I represented it as</p>
  
  <pre><code>xyz \$\$foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I expect</p>
  
  <pre><code>xyz $$foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get</p>
  
  <pre><code>xyz \$foo
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?? </p>
