Escaped characters in strings not ignored in 2.0 version #1774
Description
Hello! I use the latest version of codespell in CI. Yesterday everything was ok, but the new release gives errors about escaped characters.
A minimal reproducible example is simple:
cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("CodeSpell do not ignore escaped chars\nin strings.");
return 0;
}
codespell==1.17.1 sees no problem in that file.
codespell==2.0.0 gives this message:
hello.c:4: nin ==> inn, min, bin, nine

I think it would even better if codespell intelligently detected a
\or\nat the beginning of a typo and skipped it. Because it's common to make typos in strings. Of course it should respect your configuration, and there shouldn't be a regression. Just a thought.jschwartzentruber commentedon Jul 5, 2021
An easy solution to this is something like:

I also see this when working on ARM template (Azure; json files).
Above workaround seems to work well.

This might be widely useful enough to add it to the README.rst page, or to a new "recipes" page.
