Maybe not the best idea ☹ but I was taking notes about special
characters in batch files on a Fossil markdown/wiki page.

It's even worse than what you can imagine, it seems like batch file
syntax was designed to stress-test markdown parsers:

! " % & ( ) , ; ^ | < > <space>

I enclosed each character inside `code` markup, but I have not been
able to escape the pipe symbol:

`|` → ...<td>`</td><td>`</td>... (paragraph divided by table)
`\|` → <code>\|</code> (escaping backslash not removed)

Also, the following markdown construct

----------
* The first list: ...

* The second list: `|` `<` ...
----------

causes a crash when fed to `fossil test-markdown-render' or pasted
into a wiki page. Tested with Fossil version 2.3 [f7914bfdfa]

Fossil website).
