Examples?

This article could really use a few examples of WHAT exactly an escape character would look like in various programming languages. I mean, otherwise it could be difficult for the laymen to understand what exactly is meant here.

Would someone add some code samples please? Mzanime 17:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

@ in C#

The following ought to be added to this article at some point. Derek farn 16:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The C# language offers a special notation called @-quoting, where an @ symbol is placed before the opening quotation mark of a string literal. Escape sequences in an @-quoted string are not processed, so that (for instance) the backslashes in @"C:\Foo\Bar\Baz\" are interpreted as backslashes and not as escape characters. Similarly, quotation marks may be included in an @-quoted string by doubling them: @"I said, ""Hello there."""

The escape key is part of the MS-Windows UI -- forms use it to replicate clicking the close or cancel button. Peter L Jones, 16 November 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.55.32 (talk • contribs)

"this article" (revision of July 19, 2010 by Jayron32)

[1]

The MoS (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (self-references to avoid)#Think about print) explicitly states:

… so try to use terms such as "this article" as opposed to "this website".

Why that this article considered to be a banned self-reference? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Obfuscated?

Sometimes you wonder whether such entries are intentionally obfuscated. Need it be an incantation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Breezeclimber (talk • contribs) 04:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
