Description
Take a character vector containing punctuation and return a glue vector with every punctuation mark prepended with double escape backslashes.
Usage
md_escape(x)
Arguments
x |
A character vector of strings containing punctuation that might accidentally be considered markdown syntax. |
Details
When trying to format text containing markdown syntax characters, it's necessary to "escape" those characters so that they are ignored by formatting.
Any ASCII punctuation character may be backslash-escaped... Escaped characters are treated as regular characters and do not have their usual Markdown meanings.
Value
A character string with all [:punct:] properly escaped with
prepended backslashes.
