Broken content on initialization plugin

After initializing .step() on some element, his content will be broken if contains special replacing templates of replace() function: “$$”, “$&”, “$`”, “$'”, or"$n". For example, html of element

<value>^[0-9.,\s]*$</value>

will be changed to

<value>^[0-9.,\s]*{2}lt;/value>

@traktorist has pointed out correctly. If you have special characters like $ in your step contents then it will destroy the wizard on safari 11.1. @rstaib Can you please fix this. Thanks

Thanks so much to @traktorist for your answer.

I was able to keep the bootstrap addon by using a glyphicon instead of the $ character.

Old Code (broken): <span class="input-group-addon">$</span> New Code (fixed): <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-usd"></i></span>

Hope this helps someone reading this thread.
