Comments
This is not a bug. It is as documented. This is actually a feature by design and was implemented this way after careful consideration. Achieving the result you want is possible. It is simply to design your own formatter that performs escaping after it has formatted your text. Then you do not add anything to the |
Just curious - what is the benefit of escaping prior? |
To be honest I can't remember exactly, we are going back a few years.
