### Describe the problem/need and solution **Context** In mdit-py-plugins < 0.3 it backslashes were not allowed in MyST targets. Now they are. **Problem / Idea** This is now a valid MyST target: ```markdown (myst_target\)= ``` I think it would be more intuitive and in line with CommonMark if the backslash escape worked, i.e. prevented the target being parsed successfully. **Solution** Disallow backslashes in MyST targets. **Benefit** Consistency with backslashes in CommonMark. ### Guide for implementation _No response_ ### Tasks and updates _No response_
