Arterisk * is a special character to define bold and italic.

========== ========= syntax rendering ========== ========= *italic* italic **bold** bold ========== =========

Backqoute ````` is another special character. For example, it can be used to create internal or external links.

Double backquote `````` enters the verbatim mode

========== ========= syntax rendering ========== ========= ** ** ========== =========

There are some restriction for * and ``````:

  • cannot be nested
  • content can not start or end with white-space
  • must be separated from surrounding text by white-space character.

Slash (\\) can be used to work around the second restriction: "**B**\ old" results in B\ old.

A backslash itself can be shown by escaping it with itself: \\ -> \
