Yes, the version of the RiciLakePreprocessor I have in Penlight allows
the line marker (default #) and expression escape (default $) to be
changed.  This I did because '#' conflicts with the C preprocessor and
makefile comments - '@' is a good choice.

$ is mostly fine, except again it conflicts with makefile macros and
JavaScript that uses JQuery.

For HTML I use # for lines and @ for escapes for this reason, here's an example:

(The HTML generation in LDoc uses this template style)
