 I am having an issue within WordPress which it seems to be doubling the \
 within a file directory\path within a text block.
 For example, I have a directory or file path for someone to copy and
 paste, for example:

    C:\Program Files\MagicDraw\Plugins\(your downloaded Plugin)

 Gets changed to:
              C:\\Program Files\\MagicDraw\\Plugins\\(your downloaded
 Plugin)


 I have tried using the raw tag to try to keep the address raw text, shown
 below. But it seems to keep reverting back to the doubled \ state.
 <!--raw--><strong>C:\\Program Files\MagicDraw\Plugins\(your downloaded
 Plugin)</strong><!--/raw--></p>


 Additionally, I have not been able to determine the trigger for this
 either. It seems to happen randomly. I have tried opening the page in a
 new tab, closing all browser windows and revisiting the page, but still
 remains in the corrected state. It has been happening on a daily basis.
