Query: Is showing of a LITERAL "backtick" impossible in a WikiText code block?

I was wondering: HOW you would show a "backtick" inside a WikiText "code" block. I guess you can't?

What is the easiest way round the issue?

Any ideas?

Best wishes

Hi TiddlyTweeter

You can use single backticks literally within code blocks:

This is a

```

Code block`with a tick

```

If you define a code block run with double backticks then you can use literal single backticks within it:

A ``code run with a tick` like this ``

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thanks Jeremy

Very clever & very useful ... my understanding now ...

``To use single ticks in inline code you can like this... `ticked`.``

Renders as ...

That enables display of single backticks BY wrapping in double backticks.

``` The code for the last example can also be shown by wrapping with triple backticks... ``To use single ticks in inline code you can like this... `ticked`.`` ```

Renders as ...

This enables both single and double backticks BY wrapping in triple backticks.

Good stuff!
