==Escape Character
%%commentbox
Users should be able to escape markup characters (or all non-alphanumeric characters) with a special character. It's often faster to type and more readable than using nowiki (3+3 curly braces). In order to allow spaces in front of lists, which is a quite common practice in wiki engines, it should be a escape character other than space. This way, stars, slashes and other markup characters, when found in the original text, can be easily escaped, to be rendered as themselves. [[Escape Character Reasoning|Reasoning]]
%%
It is often troublesome to use the nowiki in-line to display symbols of wiki syntax, so it would be useful to have an escape character that could be put before wiki syntax to prevent it from being interpreted. The tilde was chosen not to conflict with line breaks and because it is a very infrequently used character. It is not generally easy to type, but it will also not need to be used often, so in this sense it is also suitable.
The escape character only escapes in certain combinations. This means that e.g. the tilde in this use case is displayed as tilde and not escaped. It would certainly **never** escape if followed by a space or an alphanumeric character.

}}}
Escape characters only trigger if you use it in combination with the occurrence of a character that has special meaning in creole and would otherwise be rendered as markup. For example if you use "tilde + equal sign as first characters in a line" it will escape the equal sign and display it as such because otherwise it would be rendered as heading.
