Escaping # with new syntax

[Patrick]

Is there a way to escape # to use it as part of a hex color literal in a template?

I have several situations like this that broke with the new beta. The issue is in the inline color style attribute. 

Templates.Total += '# if(MV > 0) { # <td style="color:#cc7700;"> # } else if (MV < 0) { # <td style="color:#0055aa;"> # } else { # <td> # } #';

Hello Patrick,

You can use double backslash ("\\") to escape hashes. In your case the template should look like this:

Templates.Total += '# if(MV > 0) { # <td style="color:\\#cc7700;"> # } else if (MV < 0) { # <td style="color:\\#0055aa;"> # } else { # <td> # } #';

We are working on providing user friendly error message in cases like that.

Best wishes,
