**[Thorsten Schöning](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=tschoening)** commented There's an answer linking to some good docs: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/javadoc-dev/2019-January/000779.html > Because backslash (\) is an escape character, a backslash character must be escaped with another backslash character. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html#GUID-4856361B-8BFD-4964-AE84-121F5F6CF111 > Support for `@-files` in javac, javadoc, javah aligned with launcher support https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9-notes-3745703.html#JDK-8162810 So, escaping backslashes in general is the correct thing to do, but one needs to keep in mind additional definitions for Javadoc itself, like "\:" for tag names. So I suggest keeping my approach by escaping what we really know needs to be escaped and further improve as necessary. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
