What other thread? OP is sometimes Original Poster and
sometimes Original Post. In the original post in this
very thread I gave an quote from the docs and an example
illustrating the answer to the question I was asked.

Ok, I guess it's hard to find the top of the thread.
I wanted to replace a certain pattern with r"\remark{Hint}".
I didn't understand why that didn't work until I read
the bit of the docs that I quoted in my original post:

(**) "If repl is a string, any backslash escapes in it are 
processed. That is, "\n" is converted to a single newline 
character, "\r" is converted to a linefeed, and so forth."
