Escaping in MIF strings

[Former user]

Original issue 285 created by @ysavourel on 2012-10-17T23:15:43.000Z:

When merging back string text, the MIF Filter loses escape slashes.
For example:
<VariableDef `<$monthname\> <$daynum\>, <$year\>'>
becomes:
<VariableDef `<$monthname> <$daynum>, <$year>'>

Also escaped bytes like \x14 get lost or incorrectly merged back.

The lines commented out that were escaping the text converted to inline code has been restored and the escaping is done again.
