# Function: escProse()

```ts
function escProse(text): string;
```

Defined in: [emitters/markdown/src/render.ts:227](https://github.com/thedannywahl/cssdoc/blob/main/emitters/markdown/src/render.ts#L227)

Escape prose for VitePress markdown (which compiles through Vue's SFC parser): a raw `<tag>` reads as
an HTML element and `{{ }}` as interpolation. Backticked code spans are exempt (Vue skips them), so
only free prose is escaped.

## Parameters

### text

`string`

## Returns

`string`
