Option to disable "\" shielding

[itdoginfo]

Two example:

echo "<p>tar -xvjf OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-ar71xx_generic-for-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2</p>" | html2md -i
tar -xvjf OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-ar71xx\_generic-for-linux-x86\_64.tar.bz2

and

echo "<strong>option src_ip</strong>" | html2md -i
**option src\_ip**

Shielding \ spoils my formatting. Is it possible to disable this?

Sorry I had the wrong notice setting and was only able to notice your issue just now. Will look into it...

Hmm.. that comes from github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown itself -- testing with cascadia:

$ echo "<strong>option src_ip</strong>" | cascadia -o -i -c strong -t
option src_ip

and I now think it make sense, as _ has a special meaning in markdown.

Maybe you've chose the wrong tool, but want to use cascadia instead?

Anyhow, it'll be possible after building with the latest feature of https://github.com/JohannesKaufmann/html-to-markdown#escaping

Thanks for the suggested solution. But what I needed was a conversion to markdown with attributes preserved. It is no longer relevant to me. But I hope you do a build with this feature. Thanks for your time and product!

Now it works:

echo "<p>tar -xvjf OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-ar71xx_generic-for-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2</p>" | html2md -i --opt-escape-mode disable
tar -xvjf OpenWrt-ImageBuilder-ar71xx_generic-for-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

echo "<strong>option src_ip</strong>" | html2md -i --opt-escape-mode disable
**option src_ip**

Thanks!
