The pages we're generating have PHP in them on occasion (yes, I know
this is sick and wrong but no one else here knows perl and none of them
will go to the effort of learning it), and sometimes we need the php to
spit out '\n', but TT2 keeps eating the \n and printing a new line. I
tried escaping the \n with \\n (and \\\n and \\\\n) but that doesn't work.
The trouble I think is that the PHP fragment is a variable in the
template and, although the $'s and "'s are escaped and behaving, the \n
isn't, which doesn't make sense.
I assume no one has been sick enough to put PHP in their source files
before, so this hasn't been noticed? Or am I just missing something
obvious?

Hmm that is interesting. I don't have time right now to check into this further
(or search the mail list archives), but I just tested and found this to be true
for double quotes. Single quotes behave correctly, though, so you can use them
as a work around method.
Input:
-------------------
"\n": [% "\n" %]
"\\n": [% "\\n" %]
"\\\n": [% "\\\n" %]
'\n': [% '\n' %]
'\\n': [% '\\n' %]
-------------------
Output:
-------------------
"\n":
"\\n":
"\\\n": \
'\n': \n
'\\n': \n
