> If I paste or enter the following into groovyConsole:
> --------------
> def escapeSlash = /The character \/ is a forward slash/
> --------------
> What it displays is a little confusing.  It renders in yellow starting at the first forward slash.  The intention is that this would show the entire expression, including the terminating forward slash, in yellow.
> What it actually does is terminate the "yellow" at the second forward slash, which is escaped.
> Fortunately, the expression does execute successfully, but the display makes it seem to the user that there is a syntax error with the expression.
