Brackets make it explicit what you’re trying to do. Do you want “dingbar” or do you want “dong”? I forget what the actual behavior is if you don’t use brackets here, because I always use brackets for this reason now
You should use markdown’s inlinecode (single `backtick`) and
block code
(triple backtick)
tags. They are consistent across most markdown renderers (except Reddit’s, which uses four-space indentations (like, who the fuck thought that was a good idea?))

I believe the actual behavior here would be printing “dong” as the shell interpreter is greedy in its evaluation of variables.
the actual behavior here is to echo the literal string “$foobar”, because the $ sign is escaped. so no variable expansion will take place at all.
Oh lol. It doesn’t show the $ at all on my mobile app till I escaped it
ah, so it’s up to the client. I’m using jerboa, in this case

I did use triple backticks
