title: Escape Markdown characters properly when using autocomplete
merge_request:

Escape autocomplete results for Markdown A label name can contain a `_`, `~~`, or other Markdown-significant characters. But label references are processed _after_ Markdown processing has run, so we can't easily fix this on the backend. We can make it more convenient, though, by changing the frontend to escape these characters so they aren't processed as Markdown, when we insert them from autocomplete. 2018-03-28 10:45:16 -04:00			`---`
