Escaping Backticks

If the word or phrase you want to denote as code includes one or more backticks, you can escape it by enclosing the word or phrase in double backticks (``).

Code Blocks

To create code blocks, indent every line of the block by at least four spaces or one tab.

\

    <html>
      <head>
      </head>
    </html>

\ The rendered output looks like this:

\

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
