Backslash appears in mdless output

Hello,

I've run into an issue where a backslash appears in mdless output instead of just making the next character be not special -- see line 1 of the following example:

[root@localhost source]# cat 320-150-Editing_Files-0070-replace_patterns_and_edit_field.md
There are two other promise types you can make in edit\_line bundles:

**replace\_patterns**
: search and replace

**edit\_field**
: columnar editing

We will look at them later.

[root@localhost source]#

Notice that the backslash is handled correctly in the replace_patterns and edit_field lines, but not in teh first line.

Workaround is to add a header -- then the backslash disappears from the output.
