yes, thanks you.

[code]
require 'rubygems'
require 'redcloth'

data_read = DATA.read
string = "\\"

puts RedCloth.new(string).to_html
puts RedCloth.new(data_read).to_html

__END__
\\
[/code]

yeilds
<p>\</p>
<p>\\</p>

although I have no idea how to treat a string as a file.
is all this to do with encoding? (sorry if that was a dense question)

erb results are similar, which I would have though was be happening in 
rails anyway
>> ERB.new("\\").src
=> "_erbout = ''; _erbout.concat \"\\\\\"; _erbout"
