Hi all,
Are special characters allowed in tags? I have a set of source blocks
that use certain Haskell functions and to the heading I'd like to add
tags with those function names. But the functions are named eg. (&&&)
which won't show up if typed normally. Is there an escape character
that will allow this?

Hi aditya,

The standard regexp for matching tags is ":[[:alnum:]_@#%:".
So no, special characters are not allowed, especially "&" and
parentheses, and there is no escape character to allow them.

Sorry!
