When I try to escape a URL (using a backslash), to prevent it being automatically hyperlinked, the preview is rendered like so;
However, upon posting it appears like this;
I.e. the preview differs from what is actually show in the rendered HTML;

Why the backslash?– BartJun 2, 2013 at 12:48

@Bart - I don't want this to be parsed as an anchor link, thats why...– Prateek SinglaJun 2, 2013 at 12:49

It'll look fine once you saved the edit– djfJun 2, 2013 at 12:51

2Why is this a bug then - a malformed URL should render like that? If you enclose a URL in a code block (backticks) it will not be clickable.– OdedJun 2, 2013 at 12:52

2@Oded- What if I want this to be rendered just like plain text and not like the pre formatted code.– Prateek SinglaJun 2, 2013 at 12:53

2@Oded preview should show exactly how the post will look like once sent. It's not, hence this is indeed bug in preview. Maybe this whole trick is a bug, but still... there is a bug, somewhere. :)– Shadow Wizard Says No More WarJun 2, 2013 at 12:59

The backslash appears only in the preview. It'll look fine once you post your answer but - and this is the important difference - the URL won't be rendered as link, only regular text.
