In [54]: inp = '\\\\ref{fig:abc}' In [55]: print pypandoc.convert(inp, 'latex', format='rst') \textbackslash{}ref\{fig:abc\} the backslash is considered as literal text for latex and is escaped with the appropriate command. > or: > > inp = r'\\ref{fig:abc}' > In [56]: inp = r'\\ref{fig:abc}' In [57]: print pypandoc.convert(inp, 'latex', format='rst') \textbackslash{}ref\{fig:abc\} same as above. The result I aim to would be: In [BINGO]: print pypandoc.convert(inp, 'latex', format='rst') \ref{fig:abc} Al -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
