Take a character vector containing punctuation and return a glue vector with
every punctuation mark prepended with double escape backslashes.
Usage
md_escape(x)
Value
A character string with all [:punct:] properly escaped with
prepended backslashes.
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.
