In the following documentation https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/roles.html#role-samp
It says: Changed in version 1.8: Allowed to escape curly braces with backslash I therefore expect the input :samp:`\{ {x}, {y} \}' to have the first { in normal font, but in my tests it comes out in italic font. How do I escape the { and } characters so that they display instead of switching font in the :samp: role ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sphinx-users" group.
