The most reliable way to do this is to use
#set ($h = '#')
And then ${h} whenever you want a # to appear. (or ${esc.h} without
the #set if you have the escape tool installed)
This works in all cases exactly as you'd expect. Avoid using \ to
escape things -- it's not intuitively obvious how it works.
