Problem with backslash characters in text
Added by Ian Street almost 15 years ago
Trying to enter a complex expression containing backslash ("\") characters into wiki text.
Tried various methods, including pre blocks.
It previews ok, but when you go to Create, you get the attached error.
Admittedly, this is a bad case, but users have complained that they can't enter simple windows paths into bug reports.
( Currently using redimen 0.8.4.devel2835 , but it originally occurred in 0.8.stable )

I'll try it here....
A better workaround ist to set PS1 specifically for mc's subshell: $ echo PS1=\'\\u@\\h:\\w\\$ \' >> ~/.mc/bashrc
& see what you get... !

Trying it with paths:
c:\new_file\at\troublesome\path
c:\new_file\at\troublesome\path

c: ew_fileat roublesomepath
in both.
