Description fd 2008-07-31 07:39:17 UTC 
When the "result" template is called with replacement strings that contain "$" and/or "\", the template crashes.

That's normal, since those characters have a special meaning and must be escaped in replacement_string in the following call:
 replace(string_to_parse, regexp_to_use, replacement_string)
Comment 1 fd 2008-07-31 07:47:57 UTC 
New function:
 moki:escape-for-replace

defined in functions.xsl, and called from the "result" template on both replace1 and replace2 strings.
