# getEscapeBackslash

abstract fun getEscapeBackslash(): Property<Boolean>(source)

Controls if the underlying groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine escapes backslashes in the file before processing. If this is set to `false` then escape sequences in the processed files (`\n`, `\t`, `\\`, etc) are converted to the symbols that they represent, so, for example `\n` becomes newline. If set to `true` then escape sequences are left as is.

Default value is `false`.
