x-text with a a template string is it possible?

[mbokil]

I was trying to use a template string in the x-text directive but it doesn't appear to work. I'm pretty certain it works in Vue 3. Is it possible to do this in Alpine?

<span x-text="`${tx.date} ${tx.dayOfWeek}`">

Instead I went back to ES5 string concatenation and it worked
<span x-text="tx.date+' '+tx.dayOfWeek"></span>

It should work in Alpine too: https://codepen.io/SimoTod/pen/qBGRRpe

Thanks I appreciate the help. Interestingly looks like the JSP engine I am using interprets the template strings as JSP expressions. So I have to escape them \${subject}
