I think that your scan may have been a bit too cursory. Those characters, while significant in ReST, only matter when used in very specific ways. The following works just fine in my ReST application. +----+-------+ | id | name | +====+=======+ | 8 | T'est | +----+-------+ | 9 | T*est | +----+-------+ | 10 | T\est | +----+-------+ | 11 | T`est | +----+-------+ | 12 | T_est | +----+-------+ -- D'Arcy J.M.
