| Description |
In 17.1.1, paragraph 4, bullet 1 says, "The special character \ indicates that the character to follow is a literal or nonprintable character (see Table 66)." If there is a \, followed by a character not in Table 66, such as "\a", is it interpreted just as "a" ? I have seen this question actually discussed by implementors. A clarification might also need to go in 2.6.3. |
