@AmitNaidu It does work with backticks — and all the other shorthand e.g. *italic*, **bold** — if you insert whitespace line padding after the opening <sub> tag and before the closing </sub> tag. For example, see the subscript block I added to the bottom of this answer: askubuntu.com/questions/482549/…

This is buggy when I need to show backticks in fenced code. It messes up the text when switching between Rich Text mode and Markdown mode. Reproduction (note there are 4 backticks around the code: <sup><sub>silly way to run a cmd ``` which python ```</sub></sup>

@PaulBakerSaltShaker correct - the point of a code block is to show the source. If you put it inside a <pre><code> block however, or use unicode like the other question did, it is possible to have them in there, let me edit my answer for an example.
