mkdocs - How to escape excessive brackets and pipes {|([^])} in Markdown? - Stack Overflow

I have been attempting to display this bit of text below on my page, using mkdocs, but due to the combined use of brackets and pipes, my page will not display the full text string here:

• { "\\|([^]*)\\|" : "//someType" }

I have tried the following three iterations, to no avail:

I've added a \ before the ^ and after the ]

• action: { "\\|([\^]\*)\\|" : "//someType" }
• output: { \

I've tried adding an extra \ before and after each |

• action: { "\\\|\([^]*)\\\|\" : "//someType" }
• output: { "\|([^]*)\|" : "//someType" }

And I've tried adding two \\ before and after each |

• action: { "\\\\|\\([^]*)\\\|\\" : "//someType" }
• output: { \\

• { "\\\\|([^])\\\\|" : "//sometype" } is working for me – zerocukor287 Commented Mar 11 at 10:15
• Thank you. Strange that it did not work for me. I eventually found a combination that worked: { "&92;\\\|\(\[^\]*)&92;\\\|\" : "//someType" } – JokersParadox Commented Mar 12 at 11:39

Found my answer, after introducing some HTML to it:

{ "&92;\\\|\(\[^\]*)&92;\\\|\" : "//someType" }
