This technically works, but it's not particularly correct since # and - (and, by extension numbers such as 1., 2., etc.) are required to be in the beginning of the line (or optionally with spaces) which the regex doesn't deal with.

I'll just deal with it in a future commit.

Yeah, but at the moment things like bold texts **Example** are also not handled correctly because this would also be escaped: Example * (see image below), so I just adapted to this for my changes.

Accordingly I thought 1., 2. etc. would be excessive because this would be a mess if you use it in the middle of a text, which is quite often the case.

This is what the as_needed keyword argument is for. It's just hard to consistently do this without accidentally breaking something. For # and - they're actually useless unless they're in the beginning so it's not the same.

For example, consider the very common text you'll encounter such as Danny#0007, this would now be escaped when it wouldn't be necessary.

Yeah, fair.
