<p dir="auto">If you use backticks around these strings, the underscore is automatically escaped:</p>
<pre><code>`id_rsa_rocks.pub`
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">will render as:</p>
<p dir="auto"><code>id_rsa_rocks.pub</code></p>
<p dir="auto">Adding backticks causes <code>code</code> elements to be placed around the text. Since the majority of the time strings with underscores in them are code snippets, this is the correct way to markup these items anyways. It also has the added benefit of styling the text in a monospaced font in many cases, which helps with clarity.</p>
