More fun with Markdown. To denote all files, folders in H: drive one seems to have to type two backslashes, so:
Typing H:\* gives H:* in the post.
and H:\ \* gives H:\*
And you wouldn't believe the fun I had typing that. What I had to type is totally different to what is posted, but what is posted is what I want you to see. Got it? Have a play...
Hint. To get that H:\ \* I had to type H: \ \ and \ \* sep by a space.
And to get that hint to post? Oh, my gawd....

Jump to Postjust H:\\* (that's five \ characters with no spaces) The 5th \ is to escape the * so that markup doesn't use * for other purposes while editing.
Jump to PostUse Inline Code (backticking), less painfull than escapes: glob pattern
H:\\*
Jump to PostMarkdown is a pain.
I still haven't decided yet if Markdown's finickiness is an improvement over BBCode's verbosity, but there's no argument here that both can be a pain.
