Problem description & steps to reproduce
Give any reasonable instruct LLM this example prompt via WebUI:
Very simple task: Repeat this string assignment exactly as-is, just fenced as Python code: foo = "\(bar\)"
It'll repeat that incorrectly as: foo = "$bar$"
Clicking "Copy code" on the Python markdown box in the answer gives:
foo = "$bar$"
Clicking "copy" on the whole answer gives:
foo = "\(bar\)"
Thus there seems to be an issue with markdown rendering / escaping.
