Hello everyone,

Thank you for such a nice and open source tool, it's very helpful for me!
I'm sorry if my I'm wrong and just wasting your time (however please 
consider I've also spent ~15 minutes to create this post^^) - I'm new both 
to markdown and pandoc. 

Description:
*Input (markdown file's content):*
...
And, finally, you need to ignore the files from that packages that were 
installed to $RPM\_BUILD\_ROOT - add on the top of spec file:
...

*Converting command:*
> pandoc -f markdown -t dokuwiki Test.mkd -o Test

*Output (dokuwiki):*
...
And, finally, you need to ignore the files from that packages that were 
installed to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT - add on the top of spec file:
...

So, underscore character is not escaped..

*Versions:*
>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

>pandoc -v
pandoc 1.15.0.6

Please don't hesitate asking an additional information if needed. Thank you.

Vlad

What's happening is that pandoc is gobbling up the backslash as its own 
escape character.

So if you want the backslashes to stick around (if I understand you 
correctly), just escape the backslash instead of the underscore:

And, finally, you need to ignore the files from that packages that were 
installed to $RPM\\_BUILD\\_ROOT - add on the top of spec file:

If underscores need to be escaped in dokuwiki (because they
have special meaning), then I suggest adding an issue to the
issue tracker explaining this.

Note that things that are escaped in an input format need
not always be escaped in an output format, so this is really
an issue about the dokuwiki writer.

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.
Also, sorry for my messy explanation (even for me, it took several minutes
to understand what I was trying to say a month ago, though I haven't used
pandoc since that time).

As far as I remember, the issue was exactly what John MacFarlane wrote - I
couldn't escape the underscore and it turned "$RPM_ROOT_BUILD" into "$RPM
*ROOT*BUILD", even if I had added backslash in front of the underscore.

>If underscores need to be escaped in dokuwiki (because they

issue tracker explaining this.

Ok, done - https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2498.

Thank you for the attention and your effort!

With kind regards,
Vlad
