 * I’ve having some problems with syntax highlighting and wondered if anyone had
   any advice.
 * The language we’re using is PowerShell, which uses backticks as its escape character.
   Looking at a post like [http://powershell.org/wp/forums/topic/code-formatting-testing/](http://powershell.org/wp/forums/topic/code-formatting-testing/),
   you can see that the backticks are whacking Crayon. I’ve turned OFF backticks
   as a code delimiter in Crayon settings.
 * This seems to occur mainly with serial escaped characters – for example, “[bt]
   r[bt]n” (where [bt] is the backtick character.
 * Any suggestions?
