Whenever a backslash is used in questions/answers/comments on splunk-base, another backslash will be added.
For instance, the following regex snippet is entered with single backslashes only, but splunk-base adds another backslash to each.
rex "(?<foo>\d+)\S+"
In regular text this doesn't seem to happen: rex "(?
But in text formatted using backticks it does: rex "(?<foo>\d+)\S+"
This is causing confusion for people sharing regular expressions etc. Are splunk-base administrators aware of this issue and working on a way to resolve it?

Even worse, the "preview" while you are editing it shows it correctly, i.e., without the extra characters.
