v.23.9New Feature
Added Output Format Setting for Escaping Special Characters in Markdown
Added a format settingoutput_format_markdown_escape_special_characters(default: false). The setting controls whether special characters like!,#,$etc. are escaped (i.e. prefixed by a backslash) in theMarkdownoutput format. #53860 (irenjj).
Why it matters
This feature solves the problem of Markdown output containing unescaped special characters such as!, #, and $ which can break Markdown rendering. By escaping these characters, users can ensure that the output is syntactically correct and renders properly in Markdown viewers.How to use it
Enable escaping of special characters in Markdown output by settingoutput_format_markdown_escape_special_characters = 1 when executing queries. The setting defaults to false, so escaping must be explicitly enabled to apply this behavior.
