If I intentionally escape the asterisk like \* because I want a plaintext * in my file, running the Prettifier removes this causing it to become an emphasis character thus changing the formatting of my file.

It appears to also do this for # and then puts the text after that hash into the frontmatter when you run update.

For example, body has \#12 of 36

1. Run Update fields
2. The backslash escape is removed, leaving #12 of 36.
3. Run Update fields again
4. - '#12' is added to the tags frontmatter

It also removes escape character from \_.

Also applies to the \| escape which can be used in table links to provide an alias as reported in #20

Should removing \ be completely removed? It also happens here: \[\[, when you want to have [[ in the document without ruining syntax highlighting.
