Special Characters

Special characters include:

# (hash)
* (asterisk)
, (comma)
// (two back slashes)
*/ (asterisk back slash)
/* (back slash asterisk)

Escape Special Characters

Use double quotes to escape special characters.

"#ab"       // tags #ab

"a , b"     // tags a , b

"a * b"     // tags a * b

"a // b"    // tags a // b

Escaping “ and \ in escaped text

To use “ and \ contained in double quotes, use \ (forward slash) before the " or \.

"a \" b"     // tags a " b

"\\ab"       // tags \ab
