In markdown, you can make a backtick (`) render within inline code by wrapping the code in double (or more) backticks (``), for example, like so:
| Markdown | Output |
|---|---|
``f`o`o`` |
f`o`o |
`` f`o`o `` |
f`o`o |
`` `foo `` |
`foo |
`` foo` `` |
foo` |
`` `foo` `` |
`foo` |
```f`o``o``` |
f`o``o |
``` f`o``o ``` |
f`o``o |
``` ``foo ``` |
``foo |
``` foo`` ``` |
foo`` |
``` ``foo`` ``` |
``foo`` |
As you can see from the examples above, the following rules apply:
- To render a backtick at the start or end of your inline code, you must add a single space on each side of the text (e.g.
`` `foo` ``). For all other cases, the space after double backticks (``) is optional (e.g.``fo`o``is same as`` fo`o ``); - You can wrap your inline code in more than double backticks (e.g.
``` ``foo`` ```). This is needed when you have a different number of surrounding backticks than the ones you wish to render, so that the interpreter can correctly render them.
