Inline Markup & Special Characters

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 Bold.

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