How can I write foo\bar using JIRA markup? The backslash is an escape character and the double backslash does not appear to be rendered as a single backslash.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-9258describes a workaround using the HTML escape code \ but I don't consider this to be a resonable solution.
This is a serious bug. If Jira has a WYSIWYG editor, it should be really WYSIWYG, and not just make a half-hearted attempt at it. (It should automatically escape all characters as needed, so that what you type is really what gets shown on the page.)

It appears you can just type it out now. NO NEED TO REPLY TO THIS THREAD.

This is the exact reason I was trying to find out how to escape a backslash without a newline. :)

If it's a special text (like a directory) you could use
{noformat} foo\*.txt {noformat}

OK, than I only know the already mentioned method in JRA-9258.

There are many cases where symbols follow \ and the \ cannot be displayed.
I've wasted too much time with this trying to find workarounds that look terrible if they work at all.

Any working solution? I have to escape apostrophe (') and failed to find a way so far. I have to write "Won't do" in the conditional execution field.

UPDATE: Initially I picked the wrong example. As pointed out by Henning, foo\bar works fine. foo\*.txt doesn't though.

*foo\bar*
IMO there is no need to escape something...

{ need to be escaped afaik..otherwise a line break will appear :(
i mean like blablabla{1,2}
this will be saved as
blablabla
{1,2}
blablabla\{1,2\} will show up correctly

Yes, but *foo\bar* is working perfectly.

Yes, it works. It seems that I picked the wrong example. Try foo\*.txt. This will not work.
