It's useful to know. This request came through support.

Title says it all: I'm not sure how to escape special characters in my vimwiki text. In particular, I have a note where I want to use an asterisk to refer to a "footnote" at the bottom of the note.

I realize there is probably a better way to express a footnote, but that would still leave the question of how to put, e.g., a literal asterisk in the text for any other (valid) reason.

Thanks!

Since composer.json#config.platform.php is now 7.2, there is no longer any need for paragonie/random_compat which was only for PHP 5.x, so it can be removed from dependencies, as a followup to #2894
