The example on that page is just bizarre. If the first asterisk has to be escaped to prevent it being taken as markup, why doesn't the second have to be? I suppose it's because there's no "closing" asterisk to match it, but that's not the sort of thing one ought to depend on. > so it might be that your ReST interpreter is broken. Looking at this I'd say the ReST standard is broken, or at least expects unreasonably complicated behavior. But anyway, it's quite clear that there are *many* cases that need escaping, not only backslashes. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
