Backslash escaping in code regions in comments

When trying to add a \ at the end in a code block in a comment it breaks the code block.

I've also tried to fool it by adding two \s to no avail.

  • \ This should work (two backticks on either side of the backslash)

  • @RepWhoringPeeHaa: Sorry, I forgot to add the explanation. I inserted the unicode character 'ZERO WIDTH SPACE' (U+200B) after the backslash.

  • See this answer of mine regarding code spans in comments. @murgatroid99 is correct; the right way to do this is using two (or more) backticks on either side.
