code markup for the inline backticks

| Jan 26, 2015 at 17:34 | comment | added | Michael Ekstrand | @MathematicalOrchid stackoverflow.com/questions/9405478/… seems pretty good. Backticks are very difficult to nest properly, especially when additional quotes are involved. | |

Easier to type. `` - 2 keys presses; $() - shift+4,9, shift+0 - 5 key presses;

No, there's no point using or teaching `...`. It's there for backward portability with the Bourne shell only (like the Bourne shell had ^ (same as |) for backward portability with the Thomson shell). Note however that (t)csh don't have $(...) (but there's no much point using or teaching them either).
