% - Percent in label

[holgerteichgraeber]

Hi, I am trying to have the % sign in a label. However, I do not get the desired result:

using Plots
pgfplots()
using LaTeXStrings
plot(ylabel="test [%]")

My y label reads the following test [draw opacity = 0.1, line width =0.5, solid

Using \% gives an error: syntax: invalid escape sequence.

What do you recommend? Thank you already in advance Holger
