//! Character escapes are a construct that occurs in the [string][] and //! [text][] content types. //! //! They’re formed with the following BNF: //! //! ```bnf //! character_escape ::= '\\' ascii_punctuation //! ``` //! //! Like much of markdown, there are no “invalid” character escapes: just a //! slash, or a slash followed by anything other than an ASCII punctuation //! character, is exactly that: just a slash. //! To escape (most) arbitrary characters, use a //! [character reference][character_reference] instead //! (as in, `&`, `{`, or say ` `). //! It is also possible to escape a line ending in text with a similar //! construct: a [hard break escape][hard_break_escape] is a backslash followed //! by a line ending (that is part of the construct instead of ending it). //! //! ## References //! //! * [`character-escape.js` in `micromark`](https://github.com/micromark/micromark/blob/main/packages/micromark-core-commonmark/dev/lib/character-escape.js) //! * [*§ 2.4 Backslash escapes* in `CommonMark`](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/#backslash-escapes) //! //!
