[TW5] How to put backtick inside backticks

[Branimir Braykov]

I think I hit the escaping problem.

I want to put a backtick inside single backticks in my text so it becomes all pink and monospacedly formatted.

I tried html entities but didn't work

Is there a way to do it?

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Branimir

You can try using the HTML entity for backtick:

<code>&#96;something</code>

The disadvantage is that the content of the <code> element will be wikified -- that's why the HTML entity works. But it means that you need to be careful to not include any text that will get inadvertantly wikified.

Best wishes

Jeremy

try your text with a double backtick at the beginning and the end:

`` test `backtick` ``

@Jeremy: Tried this and doesn't work I just see a pink: &#96;

@Mario: Your suggestion did work. I wanted to have a pink single backtick, so I typed `````, but that didn't do it.

The trick was to separate the backtick with spaces, so it works like this: `` ` ``

Your example was quite correct.

Thank you, both!

Can you show me exactly what you tried? Did you use the HTML code element?

Best wishes

Hi, Jeremy,

yes, this is just a part of my sentence:

Mario's suggestion (works):

You can use `` ` `` (backticks) to call the function.

Your suggestion (works):

You can use <code>&#96;</code> (backticks) to call the function.

Also tried (doesn't work):

You can use `&#96;` (backticks) to call the function.

I tested it all again.

I have to say I am sorry, your suggestion DOES really WORK.

I can't seem to figure out what went wrong last time. I have tried all kinds of combinations, spaces, no spaces, entities, etc.

I am sorry to have wasted your time!
