The \ \ which appears in middle text may still force a line break. Thus we can't use \ \ without intermediary space.

It may be better having some way to escape it or restrict
as new line only at end of line ?

--sfc

As a workaround, please enclose them between the triple { -signs to turn off JSPWiki parsing. For example, if you want to refer to a Windows share, use \\mymachine\myshare. This works only in 2.1.

Fixed in 2.2.7. You can now use the -escape for things like these.
