I was using StackEdit (http://benweet.github.io/stackedit/) and encountered this issue.
When I entered this:
The variable named `$abc` is related to `$def`, see how the codeblock stretches to the 2nd dollar sign.
It gives me:
Notice how the "$abc` is related to `$def" portion shows up as a code block. My intention is to have only the "$abc" and "$def" portions show up as code, while the rest of the text should not have any additional formatting.
Does this have anything to do with "$" being a latex equation marker? I tried escaping the "$" using backslashes but then the blackslash symbols show up.
Thank you.
This has been fixed in StackEdit 2.0 (just deployed). Thank you for your report.
