Description domojestic 2024-08-08 00:16:17 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I want to display the backtick character (`) as inline code, I'm under the assumption that I would need to write something like this: `\``. However, this simply does not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a markdown file, write the string `\``
2. Open the file in Okular.

OBSERVED RESULT
The backtick next to the backslash behaves like a normal Markdown backtick, expecting a closing backtick later and breaking the way the file is intended to be rendered.

EXPECTED RESULT
The backtick is seen rendered in monospace.

Here's the exact file I was editing: the content actually references backticks explicitly, so hopefully it's easy to find the spots I'm referring to!

Are you speaking about

You can move to the precise location of any mark using the `\`` (backquote) command. Thus  `\`z` will move directly to the exact location of the 'z' mark.

?

That's not how you escape markdown it seems, at least if you go to https://umemotoctrl.github.io/mdpjs/ and paste that text, none of the 7 different renderers you can select there do what you say it should do.
