    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.

          You should use markdown’s inline code (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?))
