I use them. I believe the originator of this thread was trying to use backslashes and needed to understand how to use two of them everywhere he needed one in the actual string.

Re: Using a backslash (\) in Hypertext marker
If you must use backslashes, try two for each occurrence. Framemaker, at least in older versions, use to interpret the first backslash to read the second as a backslash.

RE: Using a backslash (\) in Hypertext marker
Normally, a backslash followed by another character is treated as an "escape" mechanism for the subsequent character. So, "\Dabc" for example, gives you a double dagger before the characters "abc", etc. This is completely normal behavior from FrameMaker's perspective. If you truly want a path to contain "\Dabc", you need to enter it in the dialog window as "\\Dabc", so that the double back-slash gets converted to a single one later when that folder is accessed later. However, a better question is "do you really want a backslash in a path"? Non-Windows systems may have difficulty with this since it would not be a folder separator for those OS's. So (without knowing what you are seeking to do here), I would recommend using a single forward-slash "/" instead. If you are using this as a delimiter for a folder name, that is. In Windows systems, this should get treated as a folder delimiter ... as far as I know.
