Bug overview description:
When you include \
inside a \`literal\` markup clause, it inserts a code clause rather than the literal characters `\[code]` [b]What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?[/b] Probably anywhere where it's possible to use marked-up text, but definitely in the forums. [b]What is the expected behavior?[/b] \`\[code]\` is rendered as a literal string `\[code]` [b]What actual behavior is given instead?[/b] \`\[code]\` is rendered as `[code]`
(actually worse than that, I had to insert a closing tag to make sure the code clause didn't effect the remainder of this post)
Time of incident (if applicable).

Can you reproduce the bug every time?
Yes
What steps did you take to replicate this bug?
Writing this post, for example :)
Other:
It's possible to write this safely by escaping the leading [, as in
`\\\
\` . I still consider this a bug because it doesn't seem like there is any case in which \[code] could sensibly activate within a \`literal\` quote clause. Further, other formatting tags such as `[b]` never take effect within literal quote clauses -- they just produce the literal characters `[b]` -- , so it is inconsistent for `\[code]` to do so.
