It was hard to document how to use various Matrixdown commands because writing them would trigger them. So I added escaping. So if you want to show someone how to make a poll like so:

!POLL
Option 1
Option 2

It doesn't covert it if you start with a \ in front of the exclamation.

This can help us document a dice roll.

!D20
!D20 = 5

Or a time.

!TIME {12/20/2025 20:00 EST} absolute timetz

Or a gvid embed
