I have the following text for a table in markdown, I've googled the issue and reviewed the already answered StackOverflow question: How does one escape backticks in markdown?
I can't seem to find a solution to my problem, the text will just not render as a table in markdown.
This brings us to our next topic under strings, Escaping and Special Characters.
| Code | Description | Example |
|:------:|:-----------------:|:----------------------:|
| \n | Newline | "Hello\nWorld" |
| \r | Return Carriage | "Line1\rLine2" |
| \t | Tab | "Hello\tWorld" |
| \' | Single Quotation | 'Don\\'t clap!' |
| \"" | Double Quotation | "Say, \\"Hello.\\"" |
| \$ | Dollar Sign | `` `Hey ${user_name}!` `` |
| \\\ | Backslash | "5\\5 === 1" |
| \uXXXX | Unicode Point | "Alpha Symbol: \u03B1" |
| \xXX | Latin-1 Character | "Mu Symbol: \xDF" |
| \0 | NUL Character | "ASCII NUL: \o" |
| \v | Vertical Tab | "Vertical Tab: \v" |
| \b | Backspace | "Backspace: \b" |
| \f | Form Feed | "Form Feed: \f" |
I realize the content is somewhat ironic, regardless I think it has to do with `Hey ${user_name}!`
part.

Another approach to escaping backticks on StackOverflow is to use one of the HTML entities for the backtick: `
or `
which display a single backtick.
If you find there is any character that Markdown isn't displaying correctly for you, you can use the HTML Entity code instead and it will bypass the Markdown translation.

This has nothing to do with your backticks. Simply add a blank line between your text and the beginning of the table:

|:------:|:-----------------:|:----------------------:|
| \n | Newline | "Hello\nWorld" |
| \r | Return Carriage | "Line1\rLine2" |
| \t | Tab | "Hello\tWorld" |
| \' | Single Quotation | 'Don\\'t clap!' |
| \"" | Double Quotation | "Say, \\"Hello.\\"" |
| \$ | Dollar Sign | `` `Hey ${user_name}!` `` |
| \\\ | Backslash | "5\\5 === 1" |
| \uXXXX | Unicode Point | "Alpha Symbol: \u03B1" |
| \xXX | Latin-1 Character | "Mu Symbol: \xDF" |
| \0 | NUL Character | "ASCII NUL: \o" |
| \v | Vertical Tab | "Vertical Tab: \v" |
| \b | Backspace | "Backspace: \b" |
| \f | Form Feed | "Form Feed: \f" |
If you don't want your `Hey ${user_name}!`
to be rendered as inline code, try using \`Hey ${user_name}!\`
instead of the outer double backticks.
