Research direction
Review the current escaping function in src/draft to markdown.js, specifically the comment about limitations. Investigate common markdown syntaxes that are not properly escaped, such as nested formatting and special characters. Consider implementing a more robust escaping mechanism that handles edge cases without breaking existing functionality.
