Inserting $1 in a snippet with snipMate

How can I insert a literal $1 in a snippet, using snipMate? I could not find that information in the manual…

Results in nothing (tries to find a placeholder):

snippet s
    $1

Result in $ only:

snippet s
    $$1
Solution

  • I found a workaround. Use $${0:1}. SnipMate doesn't interpret ${0}, but seems to insert the default text instead.
