The problem with the \ is it is an escape character so my guess is it thinks you are trying to escape something. Now I assume you put this together in the new interface and it removed the slashes automatically then when you tried the toggle they still didn't show up... I just want to make sure I understand the issue so I can look into it.

I've been reading about other peoples' problems and solutions. I had my original tab in MS Works and I copy/pasted it into Word Pad. Then I opened the tab box, saw the fancy stuff and turned that fancy stuff off. Then I copy/pasted from Word Pad to the box...No more back slashes.

I believe turning off the fancy stuff is what gave you the problem... I will look into it.

I have looked at the code slashes are automatically added and removed as a security measure... but the site has always done that. I don't see any reason why yours would be removed for any reason... I am going to keep looking at it and see if I can find something.
