Hmm...I get what you mean, Cookie... if someone types "Blahhhh///Blah", I wouldn't be able to know if he wants to show "Blahhhh/" "Blah" or "Blahhhh" "/Blah"...this is kinda trivial but I have to keep it from happening.

If I use one literal identifier such as \ in the previous example, "Blahhh/" "Blah" would be "Blahhh\//Blah" and "Blahhhh" "/Blah" would be "Blahhh/\/Blah"...

OK So the delimiter is / and the literal identifier is \, anyone?

Update: I am still not sure about it..what if a user wants the identifier to show in the end of one part? Like he wants to say "Oh gosh\" "Blah"? ..."Oh gosh\/Blah" will be parsed into "Oh gosh/Blah"...Oh wait..does that mean for the identifier to show literally, the user has to type it twice?

So now I have a delimiter, and a literal identifier...for the delimiter to show literally, it must be prefixed with the identifier...and for the identifier itself to show literally, it must be typed twice...quite troublesome, huh..any possible change?

Anyone with satisfactory answer for picky Mnjul? :<
