  This is a bug report. It seems I have to type two backslashes (“”) in a markdown code block (`) to show a backslash. However, when I type “” in a markdown code block, it becomes “” on saving, and then it just disappears. I have to save my blog source somewhere else and copy the content to the editor, lest the content is destroyed.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Let me try again.

  The content should be:

  It drove me nuts. I intended to type “backslash backtick” to show a backtick. It does not seem to work. The parentheses after “code block” should contain three backticks.

  And I do not know why two backslashes are shown as one in my original post, but two backslashes are counted as two in my follow-up comment. :-(
