Block shorthands are escaped with '\' to distinguish them from their
regular forms which have a different meaning, so it's \( and \{.

Richard is working from the text extracted from the StrongED manual
using Chris Morison's tools. For some reason it exported the '\\\{'
from the manual as '{' rather than '\{'.
