How to include a backtick in inline code in Markdown with no space at the end
I would like to have the following code block:
i`
Become an inline code with no spaces at the end
So for example, I can do this and it will work:
``i` ``
It produces:
i`
However, there is a character at the end of that last example. Is it possible to produce an inline code snippet without that extra space character?
If we try the following:
``i```
It produces:
``i```
I am curious if I did something wrong or this is a limitation with Markdown. i.e. it is not possible to do.

The extra space character at the end of an inline code block is indeed a limitation with Markdown. Markdown treats inline code blocks as separate elements and adds a space after each one by default.
To work around this limitation and achieve the desired result, you can use HTML entities to represent special characters, such as the backtick (). For example, you can use`` instead of backticks to represent the backtick character without triggering Markdown formatting:
`i``
This will produce the following inline code block without the extra space character:
i`
Using HTML entities allows you to control the formatting more precisely and avoid unwanted spaces or characters in your Markdown output.
