This is a significant usability issue that I raised over a year ago (http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/SyntaxProcessingIssues). Because of XWiki's multiple rendering engine support, escaping the syntax is harder than it should be. It was scheduled to be addressed for the 1.0 release, but I was disappointed to see that addressing this has been bumped back to 1.1: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-208 Still, I'm glad to see determined movement towards a final 1.0 release, and hopefully this issue can be addressed in the 1.1 release.
