Number: 5 Title: Backslashes handled improperly Submitter: Marko Mäkelä Marko.Makela@hut.fi Date: Apr 10 2001 Subsys: Dot Version: 1.7.5 System: *-*- Severity: minor Problem:
The documentation says that special characters, such as the
double quote, can be quoted with a backslash. It doesn't say anything
about quoting backslashes. When "\" is written on a label, dotty
displays two backslashes, and "dot -Tps" generates Postscript code
that seems to loop infinitely. Also, when saving graphs, "dotty"
does not quote backslashes and creates invalid "dot" files.
Input:
graph G { a [label="\"] }
Comments: It doesn't seem to be a bug in the lexer, but a bug in later stages. Owner: north/ek Status: Fixed (17 Jan 2002)
