How to escape a pipe char in a code statement in a markdown table?
3 answers
I am producing a cheat sheet using Unix commands and markdown. When I use a pipe in a Unix command I get an extra column. I can't seem to find the character to give a literal |. The pipe between ls and wc gives 4 columns.
Example:
| # | Command | Description |
|:--|:--------|:------------|
| 1. | ls | wc –l | count number of files in a directory. |
Tried: backslash, forward slash, single backtick, triple backtick, surround it with 2 spaces, **,<code> </code>,

| # | Command | Description |
|:--|:--------|:------------|
| 1. | ls | wc –l | count number of files in a directory. |

It works on github, see github.github.com/gfm/#backslash-escapes. I believe it is Atom's fault not to show it properly.
