  <title>Escape characters</title>
  <text xml:space="preserve"><note-content version="0.1">Escape characters
They do <bold>one of two things:</bold>
<list><list-item dir="ltr">If the character has a special meaning, escaping that character <bold>turns it off</bold> and makes it a <bold>plain</bold> character again.
<list><list-item dir="ltr">Putting quotes inside of quotes for example: "  \"   "
</list-item></list></list-item><list-item dir="ltr">if the character is a <bold>plain</bold> character, it gives it <bold>super powers</bold>
<list><list-item dir="ltr">The n character is normal, but put a backslash in front of it like so: \n And presto! You have a line break!</list-item></list></list-item></list>

To escape a character, put a backslash \ just before it.</note-content></text>
