Thanks, Bernt. The begin_example method and ": " have been working well with
backslashes for me.

The =code= and ~verbatim~ markup would allow the author to spell paths and other
backslash items in the normal flow of text.

A feature request then: =code= and ~verbatim~ would escape characters with the
same environment/rules as the other literal example methods (presuming this is
possible for LaTex, of course)

Thanks,
Jeff
