MD preview does not show backslashes

[dst-RobertKnienider]

Source
This bug was initially reported as madskristensen/MarkdownEditor2022#70.
madskristensen asked me to post it here, as "This is the rendering component that the extension uses to render the HTML from the markdown source file."

Describe the bug
MarkdownEditor2022 preview does not show backslashes the same way Azure DevOps and Visual Studio Code do.
Tested with Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) Version 17.3.1.

To Reproduce
Preview attached minimal markdown file README.md with MarkdownEditor2022 and Azure DevOps and and Visual Studio Code respectively.

Expected behavior
MarkdownEditor2022 preview shows backslashes the same way Azure DevOps and Visual Studio Code do.

Screenshots

• MarkdownEditor2022 (VS 17.3.1) preview
  

• Azur DevOps preview
  

• Visual Studio Code (1.70.1 6d9b74a) preview
  

Motivation
Documenting Infrasctructure as Code I want to be able to read and copy Windows and UNC paths from Markdown, e.g. within PowerShell commands.

So the following markdown is producing the correct output for Markdig here (look for markdig (advanced))

Backslash in Markdown Previews

|Count|Code|Markup|
|:--|:--|:--|
|Single|inside| `\` |
|Single|outside| \ |
|Double|inside| `\\` |
|Double|outside| \\ |

Markdig HTML output

      <td style="text-align: left;">
        <code>

      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        Single
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        outside
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        \
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        Double
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        inside
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        <code>
          \\
        </code>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        Double
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        outside
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: left;">
        \
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

So the HTML output from Markdig looks correct to me. I don't know why MarkdownEditor2022 is displaying something different, but looks more a bug there (sorry for the ping-pong!)
