Correct translation of backslash symbol

A backslash in XWiki syntax is currently translated to \$\backslash\$ which makes the XeLaTeX compiler of my MikTex distribution complain:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $

I think the $s shouldn't be escaped. So the LaTeX template SpecialSymbolBlock should be changed from

#elseif ($latex.block.getSymbol() == '\')
  \$\backslash\$##

to

#elseif ($latex.block.getSymbol() == '\')
  $\backslash$##

or even better, without entering math mode

#elseif ($latex.block.getSymbol() == '\')
  \textbackslash{}##
