Markdown Escape / Unescape Tool

What is MD Escape?

A Markdown escape tool that backslash-escapes special characters so they display literally instead of being interpreted as syntax, with a reverse mode.

How it works

Special characters are matched and prefixed with backslashes (or unescaped in reverse mode) using a shared character map.
