Title: help escapes
Summary
The `help escapes` command in Nushell's core category provides detailed information and guidance on how to use string escapes within Nushell. String escapes are special character sequences used to represent characters that are difficult or impossible to type directly, or that have a special meaning within a string. This command is helpful for users who want to understand how to properly format strings and work with special characters in their Nushell scripts or interactive sessions. By running `help escapes`, users can access a comprehensive overview of available escape sequences, their purpose, and examples of how to use them effectively. This ensures correct interpretation and handling of strings, preventing errors and enabling more complex string manipulation within the Nushell environment. The command provides a table as an output, making it easy to parse the information.
