Prevent special characters being escaped

Hi,
I really love your extension, and it has been a HUGE timesaver.. but the one thing I wish there were an option was not to have it auto-escape stuff in the front matter of MD files. For example, I have it added at the top (like you do) and change the formatting later in the document. It then adds a backslash to `[` and `]` symbols and stuff to underscores.

I don't know if some linter does it or what, but ideally, if you can't have it detect front matter, could I at least turn off the auto-escape?
