Hi Phil,

Thanks for finding and creating this issue!

Here are some details about this issue:

When I first create datasets using my email, which includes an underscore in the middle. Initially, it didn’t display any unusual characters such as \ or others.
.

However, when I clicked on "Edit Dataset" and opened the form, \ appeared before the underscore in the email. Every time I edited other contents and saved, the \ would reappear in front of the email and accumulate.
.

@ChengShi-1 ah, thanks for clarifying. I updated the title of this issue and added "accumulating". You're right, all fields are affected, not just email. Here's a test with the dataset title:

Hi @ChengShi-1, I realized when testing this that it is actually part of a bigger issue, that we need to address on the Edit Dataset Page. Rather than changing how the transform to Markdown works, we need to update the Edit Dataset Page to display the original html value. I created a frontend issue for it here. Sorry to not think of this sooner! I put the other issue in this Sprint, I think it's a relatively small change.

Closing this since it is addressed in a dataverse-frontend issue: IQSS/dataverse-frontend#587
