Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/398

if I have xxx(xxx)[xxx] I get a violation of no-reversed-links... but if I backslash-escape any one of the 4 special characters the warning should go away, but it doesn't... even if I escape all 4 of them, the warning still fires

for example, for purposes of MD011, the following 2 sequences are identical... xxx(xxx)\[xxx] xxx(xxx)xxxx] yet the first one triggers a false positive

Thanks! I think this rule runs on parsed text, so it doesn't "see" the escaping. Here's an example of each scenario: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Reversed%20Links%0A%0Axxx(xxx)%5Bxxx%5D%0A%0Axxx%5C(xxx)%5Bxxx%5D%0A%0Axxx(xxx%5C)%5Bxxx%5D%0A%0Axxx(xxx)%5C%5Bxxx%5D%0A%0Axxx(xxx)%5Bxxx%5C%5D%0A
