encoding a backslash

[mar...@planetmarsch.com]

Hi:

So I'm not exactly using this for UML -- I am using it to help me to organize a very messy c# project reference structure (multiple projects referencing different copies of the same assembly -- ick)

It's working great, but I would really like to be able to encode backslashes "\" to represent the path.  so:

[APath\AnAssembly.dll]

I've tried using \  and &#x5c and %92 and &5c to no avail (just pasting code into the textbox on the web page).  Is there a way to get my backslashes in there?

Note:  I read the page on inserting unicode, and found the unicode sequence for the backslash, but I can't seem to make it work.

Here is a literal example of what I have tried:

[APath\SubPath]

[APath\SubPath]

do I need to add something to indicate that I am using unicode?

I really encourage you to use UMLet, which is a free standalone app, and as easy-to-use as yuml.me, but more stable and without surprises when trying to use characters as backslashes, hashes, etc.

The only con is that is not online, but is very light and no installation is needed.

Regards,

Try this

Gives this

For more backlashes that might work, look here:

I'm sorry, just need a little more help:

What if I wanted to enter your string into the textbox on the web site?  (when I enter it as-is, I get literals for %EF etc, instead of the backslash)

I get this when I paste it into the text box, that's on Chrome. What browser you on?...
