Escape character doesn't disappear. #93

Open CSDragon opened 5 years ago

CSDragon commented 5 years ago

When using the Escape character, the Escape character is still visible afterwards.

For instance, if I want to poke a friend or co-worker, I would type them "*poke*". As you do.

...but instead, slack renders this as "poke"

So instead, I type "\*poke*" to Escape the Asterisk.

but instead slack renders this as "\*poke*". It does successfully Escape the markup language, but the Escape Character is still visible.

This makes it impossible to just type "*poke*". No markup language, no Escape character.
