Context: I wanted to mention in a document that a certain item cost
"$12.98+$.77 s/h". Since the period after the second $ is punctuation,
the parsing heuristic interpreted that as LaTeX, giving math output in
the html export. So I spent a while muddling around trying to figure
out how to escape the dollar sign, then sought help on IRC, where I got
the answer: write \dollar and the Org entity parser will turn it into a
literal dollar sign. I would not have figured this out myself.
Requested fix: explain the \dollar escape in the Org manual section
"LaTeX fragments".
Thanks!
Paul

Thanks for reporting!
Fixed, on main.
I also added a linter, so that M-x org-lint will report such cases.
