Emojis need proper scaping (piefed.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by fushuan@piefed.blahaj.zone to c/summit@lemmy.world
 

Only example (this was injected with the emoji feature that pops up when writing in summit. I know that doubling the backslash fixes it by escaping the backslash itself): ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can search the code and make a PR with the change, I feel bad asking to fix such a small thing. I can also open an issue later today if it's preferred but I can't right now sorry.

Nah, you only need a single escape:

¯_(ツ)_/¯ - not escaed

¯\(ツ)/¯ - escaped

\¯\(ツ)/\¯ - your suggestion.

You are right that the middle one italizes the emoji, but it doesn't seem like you can escape that.

Sure you can: ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Renders as: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh you meant escaping the first underline so the italize doesn't trigger of course. Ok I'm stupid you are right.
