Document how to escape a Condition

See original GitHub issue

Back in the .NET Core 1.1 release I was able to do this in my csproj to conditionally add things:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
<!--#if (AuthoringMode)-->
  <PropertyGroup>
    <DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants);Swagger</DefineConstants>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Include=".template.config\**\*" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <!--#endif-->

<ItemGroup Label="Package References">
    <PackageReference Include="Boilerplate.AspNetCore.Swagger" Version="3.0.0" Condition="'$(Swagger)' == 'true'" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>

The Condition="'$(Swagger)' == 'true'" syntax gives compile time errors in .NET Core 2.0. I discovered somewhere that I can use the following syntaxinstead:

<PackageReference Include="Boilerplate.AspNetCore.Swagger" Version="3.0.0" Condition="$(DefineConstants.Contains('Swagger'))" />

This syntax compiles but no longer works with dotnet new. Is there a solution to this problem? Should I also be using #if comment syntax like this:

<!--#if (Swagger)-->
<PackageReference Include="Boilerplate.AspNetCore.Swagger" Version="3.0.0" Condition="$(DefineConstants.Contains('Swagger'))" />
<!--#endif-->
