Code incorrectly escaped in manpage output

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

The following markdown should generate a JSON code block (from attached 
document):

## Example:

    [
     [["Hello", "Hi"], ["<reply> Hi There", "<action> waves"]],
     [["Bye"], ["<reply> kbye $who", "<reply> Cheers"]]
    ]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The generated nroff is:
.PP
\f[CR]
      [
      \ [[\"Hello\",\ \"Hi\"],\ [\"<reply>\ Hi\ There\",\ \"<action>\ 
waves\"]],
      \ [[\"Bye\"],\ [\"<reply>\ kbye\ $who\",\ \"<reply>\ Cheers\"]]
      ]
\f[]

And renders as:
   Example:

             [
              [[
              [[
             ]

It should have been escaped with .nf ... .fi

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pandoc 0.46+2+nmu1 on Ubuntu

Sorry, that's incorrect. The problem is that it escapes ", which it shouldn't

I wish I could edit the title and description.

My workaround solution is to pass the pandoc generated manpage through
sed -e '/^[^.]/ s/\\"/"/g'

Quotes must only be escaped on lines beginning with directives.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I just saw the "pandoc 0.46" part.  Turns out this is a bug I fixed long ago.  
Ubuntu is 
way behind -- I'm about to come out with 1.5.

If you want the latest, apt get cabal-install, then:

cabal update
cabal install pandoc

My mistake. didn't even consider checking releases (one assumes the ubuntu 
development 
release will be up to date with just about everything)
