fix: backslash in \n, \t, \r etc. no longer hidden in chat#147
Merged
Conversation
markdown-mode hides the backslash in escape sequences like \n, \t, \r when markdown-hide-markup is enabled, because its regex matches backslash + any character. CommonMark only defines escapes for ASCII punctuation, so \n should display as \n, not just n. Override markdown-regex-escape buffer-locally in chat mode to match only valid CommonMark escape targets (§2.4).
