Backslashed back quote

Backslashed back quote

[Denis Bitouzé]

Hi,

is there any reason for the last back quote below to be backslashed?

  ┌────
  │ $ pandoc -f dokuwiki -t rst <<< ':foo:`bar <baz>`'               
  │ :foo:`bar <baz>\`
  └────

Thanks.

Cleaner examples:

  ┌────
  │ $ pandoc -f dokuwiki -t rst <<< 'a`b'
  │ a`b
  │ $ pandoc -f dokuwiki -t rst <<< 'a`' 
  │ a\`
  │ $ pandoc -f dokuwiki -t rst <<< 'a` '
  │ a\`
  │ $ pandoc -f dokuwiki -t rst <<< 'a` b'
  │ a\` b
  └────

The back quotes seem to not be escaped (backslashed) if and only if they
are followed by a non empty string.

Backtick can have a special meaning in RST, so pandoc escapes it in many cases.
It uses a simple heuristic to avoid escaping backticks that clearly can't have
the special meaning (word-internal).
