Slash Experiment

This page was created in GitHub's Web-UI.

page name: slash/in page name filename: slash-in-page-name.md

I wanted to test if using a slash in the page name would (could) be a means of creating a subfolder. It didn't -- page name simply got sanitized.

Backslash Experiment

I also carried a similar test with backslash, and created a page in GitHub's Web-UI:

page name: backslash\in page name filename: backslash\in-page-name.md

But it created a file that caused problems in Window:

GIT ERROR MESSAGE: unable to create file backslash\in-page-name.md (No such file or directory)

So, I had to destroy the page on the Wiki, else it would have impeded maintaining the Wiki locally.
