[dokuwiki > ]How to prevent back quotes from being escaped?

[Denis Bitouzé]

Hi,

running:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
pandoc -f dokuwiki -t native <<< :foo:\`bar\`
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

returns:

  ┌────
  │ [Para [Str ":foo:`bar`"]]
  └────

So far, so good.

Now, running:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
pandoc -f dokuwiki -o tmp.rst <<< :foo:\`bar\`
more tmp.rst
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

returns:

  ┌────
  │ :foo:`bar\`
  └────

Do you know:

- why this (only the latter) back quote is escaped?
- how to prevent it from being escaped?

Thanks.

If you have a plain string (Str), then you want it to be
rendered to something that is treated the same way in RST.
If it rendered as

    :foo:`bar`

then it would have a special meaning in RST, so we escape it.
If your intent is to produce raw RST, then don't use Str;
use RawInline (Format "rst").
