how to show underscores symbol in markdown?

Question

in markdown, my_stock_index is mystockindex. But I want it to show my_stock_index. How can do that?

Answer 1

The single backslash escape works fine in Jupyter unless you are in an italicized block, in which case, you want to close the italicized block, write the escaped underscore, then start the italicized block again.
