#886 doctools - html backend - backslashes wrong in doc example

[Donal K. Fellows]

Looking at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/des.html I see that the backslashes in the example are doubled. This has proved very confusing to at least one user, and caused him to have needless problems.

The confusion is that the double-\ is in the output, right ?
In the input I am likely needing the double-\ to prevent interpretation as continuation line.
That is a doctools problem, in the generator for HTML output.

I'm not bothered what the origin of the problem is; I'm bothered that the output is misleading users of the documentation. How you resolve it is your business. :-)

Donal, not sure why you seem to think that I am bothered about something. I added the examples as a reminder to myself of the test cases I should use to investigate the problem, i.e. trace it through the layers of processing, and later for the test suite.
