Description

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/examples/creating-content.html#filtering claims that you can't put dots in properties. You can. ${project.version} works just fine.

It would also be helpful to note

#set( $dollar = '$' )
...
${dollar}{bt.root.directory}

as useful when writing doc about properties.

Can anyone explain why the doc makes this claim about '.'s before I just remove it?
