bug 799744 - Import transaction from CSV skips fields if CSV file has backslash just before final quote in a quoted field
Add description of the new check box "Enable escape character" in section
"6.16.5 Import CSV Transations" which is selected by default but if not
set, escape characters (backslashes) will have no special meaning.
In particular, backslashes immediately before a quote are included literally
and do not prevent recognition of the quote at the end of the string.
Note that running xmlformat.pl changed line breaks on otherwise unmodified text.
Updated Figure 6.5 "The CSV Import Preview Pane" to show the new checkbox
in the enabled state.
