If you type hello amazing world
and want to have a single ` to either side of amazing, how do you do it? I've tried escaping the ` with a back slash and using escaped html like `
doesn't work.

Interesting case - to use markdown blocks inside markdown, and the code blocks within, which is usually wrapped with 3 grave accents, wrap the outer (markdown block) with 4 grave accents, literally you'll get the following:
````markdown
# H1
```javascript
let foo = `Hello, ${name}, world`;
```
````
To print the block above, I've wrapped it with 5 graven accents and it will be rendered as markdown
code block:

From the Code section of the Markdown syntax page:
To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can use multiple backticks as the opening and closing delimiters:
``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``
For example,
``hello `amazing` world``
renders as
hello `amazing` world
Edit: Re-reading this, I wonder if you want to use single backticks outside of code blocks. You should be able to backslash-escape them:
Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown’s formatting syntax…
Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:
\ backslash ` backtick * asterisk _ underscore {} curly braces [] square brackets () parentheses # hash mark + plus sign - minus sign (hyphen) . dot ! exclamation mark
This works on Stack Overflow, e.g.
hello \`amazing\` world
renders as
hello `amazing` world
If this doesn't work you'll have to provide more information about the Markdown processor you're using.
