[Pmwiki-users] Minor change suggestion: backtick

There are some cases where WikiWords bump into other markup:
  [[#NamedReference]]
  Æ
  accidentals like CEOs

Why not let an author use a backtick as an escape character, so one could =
write:
  [[#Named`Reference]]
  &A`Elig;
  CE`Os

This would be inline replaced, ie after WikiWord parsing but before other =
inline replacement parsing.

None of these is exactly a major problem:
  [[#notawikiword]]
  =C6sop isn't around to complain
  [=3DCEOs=3D] does the job in a more intrusive way

It's also a one line change to look for `[A-Z] and remove the `. The only =
side effect I can think of is what would happen to ThisPage:#TopOfPage for =
example.
