Escaping backticks in a code block block does not work
I swear I'm not trying to find bugs in the markdown parser XD but if you escape backticks while in a code block block then it does not work.
IE what I was trying to do is show someone how to format a code block and this is what happened
- How to reproduce
- did 3 backticks
- new line, 3 backticks escaped with
/but backslash - normal code
- 3 more escaped backticks
- 3 actual backticks to close the block
What that looks like when done can be seen below
\`\`\`ruby
require "zlib"
def compress_file(file_name)
zipped = "#{file_name}.gz"
Zlib::GzipWriter.open(zipped) do |gz|
gz.write IO.binread(file_name)
end
end
\`\`\`

Exit fullscreen mode
edit: so it seems that in a post this works in post, but also includes the backticks. the garbled mess that I first encountered was from a comment so I'll post it there too
