The help for langmap states >> Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are >> ";", ',' and backslash itself.
It means that we have to escape the backslash and write something like :set langmap=\\;k The help for option-backslash states >> To include white space in a string option value it has to be preceded >> with a >> backslash. It means that we need to escape the space, but not the backslash, like :set tags=foo\ bar As a result, we have twice "preceded with a backslash", but with two different interpretations. I do believe that the difference should be made clear, but I don't know how. Maybe by writing "Special characters need to be preceded with an escaped backslash" and "it has be be escaped with a backslash"? (I think that other places in the help would then need such clarification, but langmap seems to be the most common troublemaker I encountered on IRC.)
