When setting up routes on backbone.js, it seems the framework automatically preprends # to it. I.e.

routes : { "example/:id" : "handler" },

will match a link of www.example.com/#example/123

Is it possible to add the hashtag later on in the url? I'm essentially trying to build my app as www.example.com/text/#example/123 (notice the text/ before the #).

Is there anyway of doing this without altering the backbone.js framework itself?
