Losing "$" in links with New from Template

Hello!

I'm building templates that will use dynamic cross-reference code for the URLs. In the template file the link begins with a $ character:

<a href="${clickthrough('description')}"></a>

However, when I create a document from the template the $ sign is removed, and can't be easily added because a lot of these exist in non-editable regions (example below). Is there a way I can maintain that character in documents created from the template?

<a href="{clickthrough('description')}"></a>

Just wondering if that made a difference.

I can't get my CC2017.1 to drop the $ from the front of the link in the format you're using in a standard .html or a .dwt Template file.

Are you using the latest version or something else?

Out of curiosity, what happens if you replace the $ with %24

Also, what version of DW are you using?

It comes through as %24, which I don't think will integrate with the cross-reference code.

I'm using CC 2017

(This URL structure is for Responsys emails, by the way.)
