4 years agoHi @stevenhon,
It seems this is related to some less commonly used markdown features: Basic Syntax | Markdown Guide
The \ symbol "escapes" the character that immediately follows it, which in most cases means it forces the character to be displayed as it is instead of taking on its markdown form. However, when paired with itself, it appears to be hiding the \ that follows it. In my testing, to get multiple to display beside each other when markdown is turned on, you'll need to enter x2 the amount -1. So if you'd like to see 3 \s, you can enter 5. This is because the first one hides the second and the third one hides the forth. Here are some examples in and out of editing mode:
Let me know how this goes for you or if you have any questions!
