Windows paths don't show backslashes due to escaping

A way to keep the inline slashes visible

Actual result

Instead of the expected result, what happened?

Environment

Which operating system are you using? Win 10 / Mac / Linux
Which browser are you using? Chrome / Firefox / Vivaldi / Firefox
If youā€™re using a desktop or mobile app, whatā€™s the version number of Dynalist? Browser version

Additional comments

I believe this was due to a recent change. I use paths a lot and I think I would have noticed this before.

Backslash visibility changed in another way recently ā€“ I guess either as a side effect of whatever caused this bug, or as a side effect of the fix. Basically, an initial backslash (in an item title) is now visible, whereas previously it would have been hidden.
