[Backticks in backticks](/til/misc/backticks-in-backticks "Permanent Link: Backticks in backticks")

To put a backtick in a markdown code block, i.e. within backticks, you just add more backticks around your code block.

Really this is more useful in the inline code blocks, for instance I can do console.log(you’re on the ${branchName} branch).

So inline instead of wrapping with a single ` backtick, you wrap with two backticks, like ` console.log(this ${demo}) ` (and to get two backticks in the example shown, I needed to wrap with three backticks).

One final tip, to print a single backtick, it needs two backticks around it, but also a space around the single backtick too: ` ` `.

Basically, it’s backtick-inception.
