Backslash in snippet not inserted

[jaenthemaen]

I'm using a number of latex snippets that have stopped working with the latest update of the editor (running the latest OSX version). The backslash in these snippets is no longer inserted, meaning this:

'.text.latex':
    '\\emph{}':
        'prefix': 'em'
        'body': '\\emph{$1} $2'

leads to this:

emph{}

instead of:

\emph{}

It also doesn't seem to matter where the double backslash is placed in the snippet. It is ignored whenever another letter is following the double backslash.

Looks like this broke with #123. Perhaps try one or three backslashes?

[jaenthemaen]

Just did and neither of which is working for me, unfortunately.

I can confirm that this is broken. Unsure whether this can be reasonably fixed at the snippet level.

OK, so double-escaping seems to work. Using @jaenthemaen example, this works as expected

'.text.tex.latex':
  '\\emph{}':
    'prefix': 'em'
    'body': '\\\\emph{$1} $2'

NB: I changed the grammar scope since this is the scope that language-latex uses.

Using 4 backslashes does it for me. Try:

'.text.latex':
    '\\emph{}':
        'prefix': 'em'
        'body': '\\\\emph{$1} $2'

Indeed, that does the trick! 👍 Thank you!
