* Markdown processes the backtick as an opening or closing code tag, so every time
you include it in your code, you’re effectively closing the code tag.
* To work around it, you can follow the instructions here:

* Let me know how it goes.

* Thank you for reply.
* I followed instruction of URL given,
I can place only single backtick in inline
code, like:
* echo date`
* But, 2 backticks can not used. like:
* echo date
echodate echo date
* inline codes above are
* [backtick][backtick] echo [backtick]date[backtick] [backtick][backtick]
* and 3 backticks and 4 backticks patterns.
* Any other solutions?

* Would you mind posting the exact content you posted to WordPress in a pastebin,
so I can try to reproduce? It will also help me make sure I don’t misunderstand
what you tried to post because of the way this forum processes posts:
[http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/)
* Could you also let me know if you include that content using the editor’s HTML
tab, or the visual editor?
* Thanks!

* I think the html character entity code should work in markdown (although I haven’t
tried it): `& #096; = \``
and more to the point of what I was searching for
when I found this thread, it works on these forums.
