How to escape curly brackets within code tags
When you describe RESTful endpoints, it can be useful to describe dynamic parameters embedded in the URL, like so:
https://service/{version}/customer/{customerid}
When you then want to communicate this in a Jira issue (User Story) or in the Confluence, you run into issues, since the curly brackets are reserved for macros - so we need to escape.
We use slash (‘\’) for this.
So the above example should be written as follows, escaped with slashes:
https://service/\{version\}/customer/\{customerid\}
The below example is is for a larger block, using the {code} macro for displaying for example JSON and then escaped for inclusion in Jira or Confluence.
{code}
\{
"default": true,
"MD004": \{ "style": "dash" \},
"html": false,
"line-length": false,
\}
{code}
