I think I understand what you mean. It’s | = shift+\
Will fix. thanks!

@WhiteNoise
When viewing forum thread on this bug (in Chrome), I think it is munching some of the text I entered so I’ll be verbose here…

in edit mode…
I can see the text “use the vertical pipe (shift+{backslash})”

in preview mode…
I can see the text “use the vertical pipe (shift+{nothing here since backslash is probably used as escape character})”

A possible fix would be to state something like, “use the vertical pipe (shift + {backslash} = shift + \ = | )”.

There might be an opportunity to add a Help topic around proper use of backslash (which I’m clueless on)
