Could you explain why I then see the following difference:

In [56]: inp = r'\\ref{fig:abc}'

In [57]: print pypandoc.convert(inp, 'latex', format='rst')
\textbackslash{}ref\{fig:abc\}


In [58]: inp = r'\ref{fig:abc}'

In [59]: print pypandoc.convert(inp, 'latex', format='rst')
ref\{fig:abc\}

The two results are clearly *not* the same, even though the two inp 
/claim/ to be the same...
