New ITX (HTML_Template_ITX) user needs help!

[puff]

I'm just getting started with ITX and am having problems with variables
containing $ and numbers.

The relevant portion of the tpl file is:

<form method="POST">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Sites">
<!-- BEGIN SITES -->
<input type='checkbox' name='{URL1}' value='ON'>{URL 2}<br>
<!-- END SITES -->
</p>
</form>

The relevant portion of the php setting the variables is:

foreach($x as $k=>$v){
$tpl->setVariable('U RL1',str_replac e(' ','',$v));
$tpl->setVariable('U RL2',$v);
$tpl->parseCurrentBl ock();
}

The values being set include:

Fast $3B Bank
Fast Internet Only Bank

What I'm getting for output is:

<input type='checkbox' name='FastBBank ' value='ON'>'Fas t B Bank'<br>
<input type='checkbox' name='FastInter netOnlyBank' value='ON'>'Fas t
Internet Only Bank'<br>

What's happening to the $3?

It turns out that $ is special within values in ITX and must be
escaped with '\'.
