Summary	0023107: Markdown modify link to network server
Description	I use link like `\\Server\Folder\_Archive\file.ext` It is displayed like `\Server\Folder_Archive\file.ext` which is not working. Markdown remove first backslash like parsedown library http://parsedown.org/demo it works as an escaping character. Do you know how to fix it ?
Tags	No tags attached.

hotzeplotz 2024-04-03 04:42 reporter ~0068784	`\\Server\Folder\_Archive\file.ext` Maybe escape the escape? Like this: `\\\Server\Folder\_Archive\file.ext`, but it is not necessary, just the wanted double backslash (`\\`) seems to work `\\Server\Folder\_Archive\file.ext` fine. Better later than never … @Emmanuel can you confirm the issue is solved … if it is still relevant for you.

dregad 2024-04-03 05:45 developer ~0068785	Correct, the Markdown parser (Parsedown) considers a leading `\` as an escape character, so you need to add an additional `\` for correct display, as explained by @hotzeplotz. I'm resolving this as no change required.
