This is due to some fundamental limitations of STX.  It has no escape
mechanism *at* *all*.  I am working on fixing these limitations by
"rewriting stx":http://mcelrath.org:9675/newstx .

There is another request to add a true escape to STX:

    http://zwiki.org/877StructuredTextIgnoreFlagsNeeded

...that I am still considering adding to STX.

Future pagetypes that are true-latex and pamphlet will of course have
the latex escape mechanism using backslashes.
