From df5e5db191c13198a12b3eb24f0eda603e3324d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Finucane Date: Fri, 1 May 2020 16:10:30 +0100 Subject: docs: Mention other ways of escaping '$' oslo config code treat treats the '$' as a special character and it needs to be delimited when using within a string. There are two ways of doing this, '$$' or '\$'. We document the former but not the latter. Fix this.
