    I think the escape part of your answer is irrelevant since the OP is asking about how to escape inside an inline code block. Commented Jul 16, 2015 at 9:44
  • @TWiStErRob - The escape works in the codeblock. For example, List`1 is achieved using `List\`1`. Commented Mar 5, 2016 at 16:33
  • @suhail - The escape was the only method I could get to work for this: grep "docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m`", so thanks! Commented Mar 5, 2016 at 16:36

    @Mike I'm not even sure what I meant in retrospect, I was probably referencing the second half of the answer, because that's plain text, not code block (notice: no gray background). To clarify: the "put more ticks around the code than you want to escape" part of the answer is awesome, but the backslash-escape sequences are not useful within code blocks as I tried.
