Jul 2, 2021 at 13:34 comment added Phelype Oleinik @UlrichDiez I believe so, yes. < and > are special for HTML, so you have to escape them (usually with &lt; and &gt;, but here \< and \> also work), but since the edit box for stackexchange is officially markdown, rather than HTML, it makes sense that the backslash is only special for markdown and needs escaping.
Jul 2, 2021 at 13:27 comment added Ulrich Diez I am a bit confused now: Looking things up in HTML-reference I didn't find backslash to be a special character in HTML. But it is a special character in markdown. Does this mean with HTML inside markdown besides special html-characters you also need to escape special markdown-characters?
