[14:40] <kyleN> Hi. I have a question about po file format. specifically whether the underscore character MUST be escaped in msgstrs. Does anyone know?
[14:41] <kyleN> it appears that po4a *requires* escaping an underscore character in a msgstr with two leading black slashes (msgstr "\\_") but I have never encountered this before and wonder if it is general or specific to po4a.
[14:54] <kyleN> ok. It is not po4a that has the problem. it is xelatex that is dying on the underscore character (that was inserted from a po)
