Escape characters

Due to WhizBase's unique nature and parsing methods it is highly recommended not to use characters that are specific for WhizBase syntax in ordinary text not related to WhizBase (e.g. using square brackets [] inside WhizBase report function can cause syntax error). Therefore we included escape sequences that can be used instead of those characters. To make WHizBase interpret these sequences and replace them with proper content, variable WB_UseEscapes must be set to True.
