This is the dreaded g.os_path_normslashes. We have to be extremely careful about this issue. The draft PR #3264 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/pull/3264> supports only '/' within path expressions, and then only to separate '..' items, so I *think* the draft is good.

The PR would be broken if you had to change any of your existing outlines that *don't* already use path expressions. > I agree that ".." steps should be handled correctly but I don't see that > they need to be enclosed in braces. > Another hmm. It seems like a great idea and I'm not sure exactly what Leo already does. We should try for maximum readability and clarity in the path expressions. > As long as we don't break existing outlines!
