Yes. Actually in my final effort:

| :bufdo :g /^# \(.*\)$/let g:c = g:c + 1 | s//\='# \textit{' . g:c . ': ' . submatch(1) . '}'

... probably because it's already 'escaped' due to the fact that's in
single quotes, I found that vim left the \textit backslash alone.

As expected Tim's solution does exactly what I needed.

Thanks,

CJ
