Remarks

The escaping order is critical: 1. Backslashes first - Prevents double-escaping (e.g., \* becoming \\*) 2. Markdown syntax - Escapes *, #, [, ], _, |, ``,~ 3. **Triple hyphens** - Prevents horizontal rules (---) 4. **HTML entities** - Escapes &, ``, for safe HTML rendering This ensures that literal text like *bold* appears as-is instead of rendering as markdown formatting.
