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

There is also the option to use backticks. This is actually used to refer to mark the text as inline code, but where else would you use underscores right? Besides it is much easier than managing the backslash stuff :)

`my_stock_index`
