As Steve Jobs said:

Every one should learn to code. It learns you to think!

h. BACKSLASH ESCAPES

Markdown allows to use backslash escapes to generate literal characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown´s formatting syntax. It provides backslash escapes for the following characters:

  • *literal asterisk*= *\literal askerisk*
  • \= backslash
  • = backtick
  • *= asterisk
  • _= underscore
  • {}= curly braces
  • []= square brackets
  • ()= parenthesis
  • #= hash mark
  • + = plus sign
  • - = minus sign (hyphen)
  • . = dot
  • ! = exclamation mark.
