I am rendering maths with MathJax library, and for some reason \\ is escaped to \, when I put \\\ that gets escaped to \\ which is what I want. Where would this be happening, and why?

Thanks

What about if you put \\\\, does that get correctly escaped to \\?

From my testing, that seems to be the case.

I think this is a normal part of Markdown spec. For example, you can use \< to escape the less-than symbol, which lets you write something like Githubissues.
