#Command for written book with backslashes

I'm trying to get a villager trader for a book with some ascii art that involves a lot of backslashes and other symbols that might cause problems. Does anyone know how escaping certain symbols and stuff all work?

I've got the book all written up in minecraft just struggling to get the command for it.

As an example here is the first page which is the most problematic:
{raw: " /-------/\\-------\\\n | //\\\\ |\n |, ⌬ ///\\\ ⏧ ,|\n | ////\\\\ |\n |' /// .\/. \\\ '|\n =====--------=====\n | ///𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡\\\, |\n | \\\. 𝐋𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 ///' |\n =====----.----=====\n |, \\\ '/\' /// ,|\n | \\\\//// |\n |' ⎈' \\\/// ⏿ '|\n | \\// |\n \-------\/-------/\n"}`

You can escape a backslash with a backslash

#

For example, \ by itself may not work, but \\ will turn into just one backslash (\)

Yeah that's what ive done but because of the many backslashes it's not working, doesn't three backalashes also escape stuff? Like an apostrophe

vestal urchin
#

3 backslashes just counts as one escaped backslash plus another backslash which wouldn’t be escaped

Escaping is more complicated when you're making a command that gives a book, that's why

ok so it works differently in the /summon command rather than /data modify modifying a villagers trades

yes, like I said that's how I got the page which I posted in my original question, but it doesn't work to paste back into the game because of all the backslashes in the ascii art

#

hence why I'm trying to figure out how escaping works

#

or is it different for written books vs book and quill?

vestal urchin
#

It is, yeah

#

Book and quills are just normal text strings whereas written books use json text, so it may be formatted slightly differently

Oooooh that's where I was going wrong thanks man, I really was assuming they were the same

#

Yeah I can see now each backslash is written as 3 backslashes

#

new line is \\n quotation marks are \\" apostrophes are \' backslashes are \\\

#

and that's all the escaped characters I can see

#

Thankyou thankyou!
