The idea is to display regular expressions, which inevitably contain pipe characters. I've tried /one|two/, one\|two, "one|two", and even "one\|two", but they all split the entry into two cells. Is there anyway to escape the pipe character so that the cell is not split by it? If not, may I suggest this as a feature request. Preferably, allow a pipe to be embedded in quotes to be ignored?
