    Hi,

    I am having difficulties using PHPDocx. I need to generate documents that contain dollar signs to denote currencies. Actually, I have something like:

    [code]The final price is: $FINALPRICE$ R$, please pay until $DATE$[/code]

    where R$ would be Brazilian Reais. However, PHPDocx starts a new variable block after the last $, and mixes up subsequent variables.

    Besides writing the name of the currency, which is odd and not common practice in Brazil, what can I do? Imho, the correct behaviour would be to disregard variable names that have spaces an them. That would settle it.

    Thank you in advance,
    Holger
