Timestamp format

This module doesn't do token replacements in content, you are likely using token_filter.

I don't think there is a built-in escape mechanism, but token replacement is something you configure per text format. For performance reasons and if possible, I would recommend you set up a specific format and only use that if you need to replace tokens in that specific case.

@Berdir Thank you! After you said that I looked around some more and found this in the token_filter settings form.
