While posting some guidelines for “Gtalk Group Voice Chat”, “Tips to enable/disable the USB drive in WinXP” on TechChase I came across backslash problem.
Issue was if I am trying to display path of some file the backslash char is removed from path when post is live. This happen because when user post any article and its is saved in database, some character are removed for security purpose. Backslash is one of those character.
For displaying backslash character in your article we need to use HTML escape character. For backslash we can use & # 92
For complete list of such escape characters check here

The thing is, in the edit page there are no backlashes. I tried deleting them and quotation marks, then typing quotation marks again and it worked…at least in the blogroll, but some of my categories with quotation markes are also affected. but overall it was very helpful in understanding the complexities.
